Don't Drive in Dublin

Dublin

We have managed to get around Ireland fairly well, then we drove into Dublin.  We found construction, traffic, and all the lovely issues that one might think we were in Atlanta!

We managed to find a car park and decided to walk around the city.

Dublin Castle

Of course, it is imperative to visit the castle.  We did not go in, but walked around.

Christchurch Cathedral

 Brazen Head

Ireland’s oldest pub

The Brazen Head is officially Ireland's oldest pub, dating back to 1198. While it is unclear how much of the original 11th century coach house is still intact, there is a palpable sense of history within these timeworn walls. If you are looking for the true Irish pub experience then the Brazen Head Pub should be your first port of call.

The pub has managed to retain the charm and characteristics of it\'s past and in particular it\'s patrons, who have included such literaries as James Joyce, Brendan Behan andJonathan Swift as well as such revolutionaries as Robert Emmet, Wolfe Tone, Daniel O\'Connell and Michael Collins.Today the patrons still include some famous faces, including some very famous musicians like Van Morrison, Hothouse Flowers, Mary Black and Garth Brooks. Take some time to absorb the pictures and scrolls covering the walls. There is a palpable sense of history within these timeworn walls. (Taken from their website)

We enjoyed lunch here!

 River Liffey

We have had a marvelous time in this wonderland of green.  We are now off to the city of lights, Paris.  We have been practicing our French, so we hope we can make ourselves understood!
So, I will leave you with Snoopy's Irish Proverb!  Blessings to all!
