The walking begins with a big long walk to Dublin Center and back. Muscles that haven't been used in a while, were quite strained. Thank goodness for drugs!

Abby, Becca, & Scout in front
of the Samuel Beckett Bridge.

Dublin, the population slightly smaller than South Dakota at just over 500,000. The city is on Dublin Bay and the tides do affect the water ways. The scenes are similar to the other European cities. The bridge in the back ground does show some uniqueness to the sky line.

As we get closer to city center, we find more people out and about. We walk across the Beckett Bridge and we see a man with a hacksaw working away to free a bike. I'm sure it was his, lol.

Memorial from Canada in
regards to the Great Famine. 

Like all large cities there is historical markers, like the one to the left, a gift from Canada in regards to the Great Famine. Old architecture marks the sky lines, mixed with the new sky line. Along with Air B&B, Google, Facebook, and others have chosen Dublin as their European base.

Pram time is nap time for Scout
in the afternoon.

Pram time is nap time for Scout. Our daily routine is walks in the morning, letting her run around, and then a little lunch. After lunch will be Scout's nap, as we walk today, to find some Oyster's for John and Prongs for Abby for our New Years Eve supper. Not sure what the plans are for NYE in Dublin, however, we'll venture out to see what's going on. I'm sure it'll be nothing like last years NYE in Berlin.

Plans for the weekend includes a road trip to the West, Galway area, lodging and transportation is secured. More to follow...

Time for a rest in a Irish Pub, Grabby with
a Pint and Scout with "Jamisons" LOL
