Dublin day 1

Today was our first full day in Dublin. Yesterday we were a bit pooped after the long journey, but this morning we set off with new energy after a solid night' s sleep and a good breakfast.
We started off at Trinity college and amongst others went to see the Book of Kels and The Long Room which is the original library. It was the highlight of the day for us. It  was like walking in a movie.
From there the day drifted into things more Irish, like beer a visit to a Cathedral, and eventually another beer and something true Irish to eat. Boy, these guys know about potatoes!! Chips here does not mean french fries. Here it is the real thing. Even Dick could not finish his  portion and that takes some doing!
Dublin is clearly a very popular holiday destination judges by all the people and accents we hear. We are  having a great time.
We are unable to upload any photos to the blog, they will be uploaded to facebook.
