we're here

Hi
We're here! safe and sound trip to dublin. Easy flight. Dennis picked us up at 5:30 am and took us home to Howth and went right back to bed. He had been on an awesome pub crawl the night before and God bless him for getting up and retrieving us at the crack of dawn. After a nap, Dennis and Linda took us walking around Howth to show us the lay of the land. The we took the DART into Dublin and we went to O'Donoghues Pub, the pub where the Dubliners got their start. My friend Tim who plays a concertina was able to sit in. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. It was a powerful session. Today, Sunday, we went to another session at the Pier House in Howth. Tim sat in on that one, too. Another powerful session - wonderful singers at that one.

Tomorrow at the crack of dawn, we board a flight to Kerry where we rent a car and drive out to Dingle, the most beautiful place on the earth's face.

I don't have my own computer up and running yet, so no photos yet.
Love
Lynn

So, what pubs did you go to today? How was the flight to Dingle? How's Frank? Did you go to Dick Mack's? Has it changed much?? Hug Pronsias for me. Do you still want me to come???????

Hi Lynn,

Here is a link to photographs of Irish Carnegie Libraries

Mayabe you can add a library crawl to your activites probably not as much fun as the pub crawls but variety is good too.
