Dublin!

Let's get one thing straight immediately:  I love Dublin.  I feel at home there.  I could move there tomorrow and feel pretty darn happy for the rest of my life.  I love the architecture, the history, the culture, and mostly the people.  I don't care about any of the negative that anyone could pull up (somehow) on the city or the country or whatever.  Every time I go I leave a piece of my heart behind that pulls me back.

 EEE!  We made it!  Here we are about to enter Trinity College.

 D on the grounds of Trinity College, one of the topmost universities in the world.

 Grafton Street, Dublin.

In Dublin's Fair City

Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheel'd her wheel barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o!

Chorus
Alive, alive o!, alive, alive o!
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o!

She was a fishmonger
But sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they each wheel'd their barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o!

Chorus

She died of a fever
And no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
But her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o!

Chorus

 Near the Spire

Inside the church at Dublin Castle

 Dublin Castle

 D standing on the Ha'Penny Bridge over the River Liffey

 At the base of the Spire

With C!  It's been a long time but it was WONDERFUL to see him again!

The Temple Bar area of Dublin!  FUN!
