Dublin (and a Surprise!)

The drive to Dublin was uneventful through alternating sunshine and showers. We made the usual stop in Moneygall at Barack Obama Plaza on the highway. Obama’s maternal great-great-great grandfather, Falmouth Kearney, was born in Moneygall. He visited the town back in 2011, a big event for a small town in County Offaly. We had sandwiches and got back on the road. We arrived in Dublin at about 3:00 and checked into the Croke Park Hotel (where we have stayed before). The hotel is right across the street from Croke Park where the All-Ireland Irish Football and Hurling championships are held each year. Dinner was at the hotel.

But there was a big pleasant surprise before we left Dingle. As I was loading up the luggage for the trip, I reached deeply into the center console in Winnie’s front seat. EGADS! What was in there but MY CAMERA! I felt stupid for losing it and now even stupider for not having known it was there all the time. Stupider but happier.

We had dinner at the hotel. And then we had a good night’s sleep. The ferry tomorrow isn’t until 2:00 PM so maybe we will do som,ething in the morning.

Cheers for now.
