 | | Tour route |
| I arrived in Dublin yesterday afternoon after a cramped Ryan Air flight (there's a reason those flights are so cheap), and was relieved to be welcomed by gray skies, drizzle and cooler temps after the last week of Italian heat. I met Bob and Tammy at our hotel, who were both tired from jetlag but excited to be here. We had a traditional dinner of Irish stew and guiness in a pub near our hotel, complete with Irish musicians. Bobby was like a small child on Christmas morning, sitting in an Irish pub, drinking a Guiness and listening to an Irish band play traditional music. He had a huge smile on his face all evening, not able to believe he was really here. We all crashed early and got some much needed sleep, then spent the following morning touring the city in a "Hop on, Hop off" bus tour. Tonight we meet the other tour memebers and our guide. Candi should arrive anytime now, so I will take a quick nap. More later,
-Rich |
