It rhymes with "oath" and "growth." Dara, my CS host, suggested Howth Head after a long walk round Dublin yesterday as well as a good spot for flying Juliett. After a light brekkie and two cups of coffee, I was on the bus toward Howth. As in London and ... Read more >

Whew. It’s late and I don’t want to forget anything but today was a day of serious driving. We woke up and packed up our Dublin Co. house. I made coffee for breakfast and some quick oats I had bought at the store the night before (on my evening ... Read more >

Cork to Kenmare

(We woke up in Cork in our lovely downtown apartment and walked across the quay to the museum (need name of museum in Cork). I walked around the museum and really enjoyed it - there was a few more Harry Clarke stainglasses which I enjoyed. Jared and ... Read more >

Dublin - Day 3

We were able to get up much earlier today, in part because Jared had an appointment with an old friend at Microsoft Ireland. He went off to lunch with his friend James while my mom and I ate at a nearby coffee shop (again free WiFi, some nice carrot ... Read more >
