More from Friday Mar 27 Around Dublin

More from around Howth.  Must have pictures of sail boats.  

 Overlooking the bay.  Lots of green grass and yellow flowering grouse plants.


 Light rain and fog arrives.  It followed us for the next 5 days.

 Light house.  No time or energy on this first day to hike down there.  Back to the bus for all of us.
No time for fishing, but lots of choices for those fresh fish markets.

 Back to Dublin.
 Road construction, of course.  Our guide Gerry, says they did away with the trolleys years ago and are now bringing them back.   His favorite phrase became, "but dooon't get me staaarted on........(and then fill in the subject) the trolleys."

All those chimneys for fireplaces


 Jenne and Craig and Emmett have a chocolate lab.  This must be his Irish cousin
 Blooming daffodils!!!  Spring in Ireland
First glimpse of our hotel and the challenging trick of getting 4 tour buses to the front door.





Never enough elevators to move 140 quickly. 



Very classy place.  The rooms had beautiful, heavy mahogany furniture.  All meals were served on white table clothes with full china and  silverware settings
