Mom's 3rd test...
Well, we have arrived safe and sound at our B&B in Dublin.

There were some stories from the students about their experiences last night, but they were minor and nothing to worry about.
Our first stop was the Book of Kells at ...
Drinking and Hurling
I'm back in Dublin and set my sites on seeing the sites this Sunday. Sunday in Dublin is an interesting experience. About the only thin open besides the corner stores are churches and bars. I'm not sure what that says about the Irish, but it was about what I expected. The city was fairly sleepy as one would expect of most cities on an overcast Sunday. As I made my way from the city centre out to Heuston station by light rail, I was looking forward to a ...
