Dublin

Nothing beats a walking tour To get to know a city, To learn about the pretty spots As well as those quite gritty. In Dublin, with a guide named Rex, We zipped along the streets And laughed a lot while learning of Its cool historic treats. And then to a museum, An exhibit of Vermeer. How fortunate it was displayed While on our visit here. This all was on 2 hours sleep But still, we plodded on. A Guinness and some fish and chips Until our strength was gone. In bed at 6! But rested now, My mind anticipates The coming day with much to see - A new adventure waits.

I hope the rain has not spread your way from here in far off Donegal Ilene.

Ilene, I always find myself singing (internally) when reading your poetry. Such a smooth and flowing delivery of lines with rhymes that are flawless. What a grand poetic adventure this was.

Hey Jan! Didn't realize you were so close! I'm touring the northern part of Ireland but will be back in Dublin Monday night and am flying home Wednesday morning. Wish you could just drive over!
