Southern Ireland Dublin 2008

On our introductory tour of Dublin we learned that Ireland is the size of Maine and different colored doors distinguish the row of 4 story Georgian homes. After a photo op at a red foliage covered home, we stopped at St. Patrick’s Cathedral; drove by the “Sniffy Liffey (river)”; saw the statue of Molly Malone “The Tart with the Cart”; and stopped at Trinity College – 45 acre campus in the center of town – so we could view the Book of Kells, “Turning Darkness into Light” which was written on vellum about 800 AD by monks using quills for pens
