The Martello Tower, now a museum, where James Joyce lived for a week before being shot at by his host. Ah, those cheeky lads. The tower (and shooter) gave us the opening to “Ulysses”.

Love this sculpture in Sandycove. Beyond the awesome name (“Mothership”) and aesthetics, it kinda makes me crave sushi.
