Can’t take pictures inside!

Flew into Dublin Airport and took a cab to our Hotel—The Clarence at 6-8 Wellington Quay. It was too early to check in so we left our luggage, had a light breakfast at the hotel and set out. First order of the day was Trinity College and the Book of Kells which was created c. 800 AD. We’d been told the lines get pretty long as the day went on so . . .

Here’s the line as we left—and growing.

Next, we walked over to St. Stephens Green and wonderful, beautiful park in the center of Dublin, grabbed lunch and at 2:00 Went to the National Archeological Museum. We’d seen a lot of their gold collection when it had been on display at the Philadelphia Art Museum, years ago but I wanted to see the Bog man exhibit.
