Dublin

We got to Dublin at 8:00 AM.  It's a short flight, so not much of a night.  We got to our B&B way early so had a bit of a wait before our room was ready.  Our hosts here are really grecious, as was the bus driver on our ride into the city, who let us ride without exact change.  That made up for the taxi driver who way over-charged us for a ride from the airport. We vistied Trinity College and saw the book of Kells.  Had Irish stew and Smithwicks for dinner in a pub down by the river.
Tom snaps a shot as I get ready to get off the plane.  Our B & B in Dublin.
Trinity College's Oldest Building - it was started in 1580 by Queen Elizabeth
The Old Library At Trinity - The Book Of Keels Is Shown Here-
It is One Of The Oldest Bibles Dating To About 800

Dublin Old Town Has A Lot Of Charm

  1. The books of Kells is quite good, though we didn't make it to the book of Keels...I hope it was just as good :)
