Doing Dublin
This was not my transportation though it would have made for some fun photos!
The Long Room at Trinity College was a highlight of the day. Seeing the ghost of James Joyce and Oscar Wilde was only a bonus!
Dublin Castle courtyard is where medival meets Terminator...
Speaking of James Joyce, I'm told he often penned at Davey Byrne's seen here...
Eariler that day we bumped into his old pal Oscar Wilde in the park looking as cool as ever...
All this touring is bound to make an Irishman thirsty so off to the Guinness Factory for a tour and tasting. The O'so cool Gravity Bar seen here comands one of the best views in Dublin.
The actual water that makes Guinness or so I'm told...
Enough touring let's get a pint!
Off to Temple Bar (district) to enjoy some fun...
Oh yeah, we caught the natives having some fun on my way into Dublin the other day :-)
Talk about a small world... Bumped into a good friend on my flight from Atlanta to Dublin Ireland. It was great to see Peter and have a few laughs just like we were kids again. 
A couple of days later while walking down the street in Kilkenny, Ireland guess who rolls up? It's Peter on a BMW R1200GS (my old bike) we say hello and off he goes. As they say "Third times a charm" and sure enough Peter and I bumped into one another at a coffee shop not more than an hour later. Too funny!
