Blood and Guts Walk

Yesterday afternoon we went on a "blood and guts" walk. A tour guide called Ronan took us around town and told us about all the different disease-and-death-related people and places in Dublin. I learned a lot of things I didn't know before. Ronan told us the first dissection ever performed in Ireland was on an elephant. He also told us about famous grave robbers Burke and Hare, and how radiotherapy for cancer treatment was invented in Dublin. All in all, I would say it was a good trip!
