Canadian embassy, Ireland.

 

. . . but there was no plaque!

 

Heard a rumour that this is the oldest house in Dublin.

 

Hotel owned by Bono. A little too rich for my blood (and for what it's worth).

 

Window into Dublin.

Leprechauns!

 

I don't see any. . .

 

Yay for bilingual countries!

 

 

Live Irish music at Oliver St. John Gogarty's. The music was amazing and the building was the most crowded I have ever entered.

Sarah and Carly at the Brazen Head. We had dinner there. Mine was stew and it was darn good.

 

One of the bars in the BH.

 

The Brazen Head is the oldest pub in Ireland. It was founded by the Vikings in 1198 -- more than 300 years prior to licensing laws.

 

The Indian restaurant where we had lunch after the tour. So. . . the melting-pot? Not confined to North America anymore. 

Yes, I was really standing there.

 

glorious

 

 

You know what they say. Obedient citizens make for a happy city.

 

I LOVE ceilings like this! Maybe it's time to redecorate my bedroom. . . I'm thinking -- Romanesque.
