This is actually at Exmouth Market, about a 1 minute walk from the flats, right before getting the bus to head out for Dublin. I thought the smoke looked pretty cool with the light.
Getting on the plane with Ryan Air, cheap airline. Kelly and Michelle are down at the bottom right.
Ryan Air!

I spotted a real, Irish leprechaun in Dublin...
Euros! Finally, a better exchange rate.
Friday night dinner
In Temple Bar area
Town Hall
Musician at the Porter House pub... absolutely amazing. I've never seen anyone strum as quickly as he did. Great covers with an original spin.
Porter House had three levels with an open middle area, and the musician was out toward the open part. We were lucky enough to stand right in front of him. Very cool pub.
Flowers on Saturday morning in front of Christchurch in Dublin

Okay, so a bunch of things in Howth reminded me of family... this one is Grandma because of the pretty script writing and the light blue
This is Grandpa's place at Howth
Mom, because of the hanging baskets and that one bright pink color you like
Dad - fresh fish
And this is Adam because of the striking resemblance

Michelle's, Kelly's, and my shadows

You can see a corner of the castle in the left side of this picture - we had originally planned to go to the castle but decided to walk around and explore instead, a good decision.
And of course, who could go to Howth and not make it to Ye Olde Hurdy-Gurdy Museum of Vintage Radio?
I think this might have been ruins of an old church and its cemetery
Calamari and salad for dinner at Howth
