Port of Call: Dublin, Ireland
We arrived in Dublin SUPER early...
and after breakfast, we headed off on our shore excursion to tour Dublin Castle and to visit Trinity College to see the magnificent Book of Kells…
Our first stop was Dublin Castle...
where we visited the castle's private cathedral...
and then toured the interior, typically used to host official State visits these days...
Our favorite rooms were probably the throne room...
and St. Patrick's Hall where the inaugurations of every President of Ireland have been held and where we learned that the official color of St. Patrick is actually blue!
Our next stop was at Trinity College to see the Book of Kells. While no photography is allowed in the exhibition room, we were allowed to photograph the Long Room, the old library at Trinity College, and it is absolutely magnificent...
Lastly, Hubby flew into Dublin and reunited with us (while we were waiting in line to view the Book of Kells) today! It isn't a true adventure in our family unless he has some crazy way of meeting up with us late or leaving us along the way!
Exhibit A & Exhibit B
Regardless... We are sooo happy to have everyone here...
FINALLY!
Back over to England tomorrow...
