Today, we were to be checking into our new digs at the University College Dublin. A bus was going to pick us up at 10 AM. I got some breakfast across the little walkway from our hostel at a place called the Granary Café. Again, it was awesomely protein rich.

We started off the day waiting for the Olympic torch to run by our hotel. We were so lucky to have a room facing the street where the Olympic torch started its journey for the day.

We had an earlyish start and went to Trinity College Dublin to see the Book of Kells, a 1200 year old book of gospels and some related books. Part of the exhibit showed how the books were illuminated and bound …

I left Annapolis and flew to Atlanta on Sunday afternoon, eager to cross the pond later Sunday evening. To ensure a first class seat, true Blaha stand-by style, I decided to reach Manchester via Dublin.

I arrived in Dublin around 7am Monday morning, after a good meal, entertaining movie, and comfy (albeit short) sleep! Per my travel-savy …
