Winding Down

Dublin has been an adventure. We oriented ourselves with a Hop-on Hop-off bus and figured out what we really wanted to see but need more time. Guess what that means?

We got caught up in the uprising of 1916 with the help of the Kilmainham Gaol and the General Post Office Witness History exhibition.

And then to Murray’s for an introduction to sports we never saw before.

Listened to music at Murray’s Bar and Grill, watched hurling and Gaelic football and soccer.

Best of all we got to have lunch at Madigan with Mary and Eu Gene where spent as much time laughing as we did eating.

Tonight, dinner at Joan’s with Ann and Ina.  Travel doesn’t  get any better than when you meet up with friends.

Joan is a supervising teacher of student teachers placed in Ireland by Indiana University. We are hoping to see her and Colm in Bloomington this summer.  We would like to have a chance to repay their hospitality though I could never replicate the gorgeous dinner. A beautiful way to end the trip.
