| After an all-night flight from Chicago, we made it to Dublin and tried to settle in. We landed, got our luggage, and took a van to the apartments in Sandymount, a neighborhood south of the Liffey about 3 miles from City Centre. After a short break to clean up a bit and unpack a few things, we walked to the DART (commuter train) station and headed to City Centre. You've got to keep moving the first day to get used to the 6 hour time difference! | |
| The "bridge" photo is of the Ha'Penny bridge - it was originally built to allow pedestrians to cross the River Liffey for just a "half-penny" toll (otherwise you were taking a boat). |
Below are a few more of the sites around City Centre in Dublin - you are obliged to take your photograph at these places :)

| You have to honor perhaps one of the greatest writers of the 20th Century, James Joyce. | And it helps if you learn the lyrics to Molly Malone |
