Good to be back in Dublin again. And Eileen’s place was ideal for our four days. We are self-caterers, so kitchen facilities are important. This was the first airbnb where we did have go out and buy items that we found missing. With the amount of traffic it is amazing that there is no street noise.
Eileen provides plenty of information about what to see in Dublin. We have a small contribution to add: Ta a walk along the Grand Canal going eastwards. After about 20 minutes you will “meet’ the poet Patrick Cavanagh sitting on a bench. It appears that he was a difficult character, so his statue is known as The stench on the bench or The crank by the bank. But he wrote the immortal poen On Raglan Road. Check youtube for song versions by Sinead O’Connor and Luke Kelly.
Exhibitions? If you want to know what happened in the Famine years, the Stephens Green Shopping Centre top floor is very good. The presentation iis not innovatve but very informative.
If you want innovative, visit EPIC, which is truly epic. Near the end your brain will screaming Enough is enough. But do go.
Eileen, we’ll be back.
