Free at Last

Now we get to enjoy four days in Dublin, free of daily travel.

We caught up with Jenna's sister Pat at the hotel. The whole Heilemann family reunites in Ireland to celebrate their mother's roots.

So begins our leisurely exploration of the city. A city rich in European history, with buildings and books back a thousand years.

We saw the Book of Kells at Trinity College. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Kells.  A masterpiece of calligraphy from 800 AD, it is considered Ireland's greatest treasure. We knew we could not afford it.

We walked strolled around the Temple Bar district, perused national museums, and meandered through the Guinness Storehouse (visitor center). Plus a little more souvenir shopping.

We depart tomorrow quite early for the long flights home. "Clancy, we comin' for ya!"

PS Brought back over 400 pictures.   Will take a few days to winnow down the collection to a manageable slide show.
