DUBLIN, IRELAND

*

What a way to start Dublin

I love this ad,

TOGETEHR + NESS (from Guinness)

Brazen Head is the oldest pub in Ireland,

 located the in The Temple Bar section of Dublin, 

which is the most touristy and 

expensive area for a Pint.

Famous Temple Bar of Dublin

Irish & English

This Modern Art Museum was originally built for pensioners (former military) to live out their lives with government support. Later they were moved to Chelsea. 

Well, this was not one of those guys,
 but it is Roger in dress-up at the museum

Now the museum houses modern art exhibits.

Folded dyed canvas

String and painted wall                  Writings on ticker tape

The Writers Museum of Dublin is jam packed with the history of  famous Irish writers/poets.  I could have spent the entire day just reading and ingesting the essence of all of these amazing men and women. 

 Oscar Wilde and Roger 

Here is Roger with all of these famous Irish writers/poets

I just had to sign the guest register at the museum

We missed these Two Royals by minutes in two different locations around Dublin 

  At Trinity College Campus we could see that they were cleaning up and removing barriers from an event that had just occurred.  We began to talk with one of the workers who happened to be a gardener on campus, he told us that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had just left the campus which marked their first official trip as newlyweds.  They made stops in Dublin at Aras an Uachtarain, Trinity College, Croke Park and the famine memorial. the famine memorial dedicates the great famine of the mid to late 1800s.  Many poor people were dying and could not pay their rent, so the landlords paid their way to emigrate out of Ireland. Many of those immigrants came to the USA. 

He also told us that in late June, Hillary Clinton had been on Campus to receive an honorary degree for her previous work when she and President Clinton visited Ireland in 1995.  At that time she was influential in the development of the ‘Good Friday Agreement’, which helped to bring about peace within Northern Ireland, after three decades of violence and blood shed.

 This Eternal Flame Memorial is dedicated

to all people around the world who have been or are illegally incarcerated. Please hold these people in your thoughts, some of whom are currently illegally held at our American borders, some in cages 

It is a sad day that we must admit to these horrors

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”
