Across the pond...

technology is wonderful---so is Ireland


Where to start? Where to start… Doing and recording seem mutually exclusive. A quick update from our last night in Dublin..A surprisingly easy transit to Dulles resulted in an uneventful flight to Paris and then a plane change to Dublin. After taking off we flew over the white cliffs of Dover,



and then had a lunch… why do you fly Air France?



A lovely little shrimp bruschetta, a phyllo pastry with some cous cous inside with a little kick, and a wonderful apple tart for dessert. The beverage? What else? Champagne of course. And we weren’t the only tourists partaking; the bottle was exhausted after the first few rows.

Eventually the coast of Ireland and Dublin came within view



and we landed without difficulty. Transit through customs and security was painless, with the customs guy asking if I had gone to the 2009 US Open (my ball cap) at Bethpage Black with a story of how he attened the 2004 open. We took a coach into the heart of Dublin,




checked into lovely hotel in the heart of the old town.

Breakfast the next morning was lovely..a buffet (yes, but this is okay) with everything under the sun available..





and you could have whatever you like..




How nice..

so, tired but satisfied our day began

and we were DFI(reland)

ps where were you at 17:59:57 yesterday (thats 12:xx for you stateside).

hint:



a recount of our visits in the City next, today more touring and leave Dublin (fair city where girls are so....)
