My trip to Dublin

[beloitpiper]

I spent the bank holiday weekend in Dublin. Here are some highlights.


The Temple Bar. Never go there. It was terrible.


The gates of heaven? I think so.


The complete Midleton collection. Worth €15,000 ($22,000).


Trinity College. I got to see the Book of Kells!


Just hangin' with my friend Oscar Wilde.


The Proclamation of the Republic.


Michael Collins' uniform and pistol.

Irish military kilt! It was preety.


Orange tartan with wide, brown stripes surrounding thin red lines. Matt, identification?


Traditional Irish leine. (This is why we wear saffron kilts. It's historical).

Great pics, thanks for sharing. They are informative as well as. You will have to find a better bar next time.

[McMurdo]

Great pictures Greg, sorry the Temple Bar was not up snuff, perhaps you will find a better pub next time.

[McFarkus]

Great pics! Sounds like you're having a great time.

I note that Guinness must have heard that you were on the way and took appropriate precautions...

That tarttan is really nice...for a second there, I thought that the lighting made it look orange and was going to ask about the colors. Looks rather like another tartan to go on the wish list for a lot of Xmarksers.

Travel IS broadening, il n'est ce pas?

Great pics, Greg. Sorry to hear the Temple Bar didn't live up to expectations. Looks like you missed a golden opportunity to go kilted around Dublin.

Thanks, nice pictures. Who was the kiltless fellow posing with Oscar?
