We got up not terribly early and went on the road towards Dublin. I have to say I was excited because the map had said "MOTORWAY" that's equivalent to our highways. YEAH!! Highway driving. Oh how short lived that was as we were on the highway for bout 10 miles and then because of construction we were detoured ( is that a word) onto a simple country lane. Granted it was quite beautiful. You could see snow on the higher ground and it was really quaint. We made it into downtown Dublin rather easily. Laura being the ever efficient navigator got us where we needed to be. We parked the car and then made our way to the Temple Bar area of Dublin, in search of THE CLARENCE HOTEL, owned by Bono and The Edge of U2. The one thing Peter asked me was if I got into Dublin to bring him back a postcard from THE Clarence Hotel. Well we did better than that we brought him back the bill to our scones and tea. : ) Just think Bono or The Edge could be looking at the receipt from our outing. And a bag they gave us with our left over scones. They were massive.

After our scrumptious tea and scones we paid the bill and heading towards Trinity College through the Temple Bar neighborhood. It was eclectic and lots of enjoyable cafes and people watching.

You aren't allowed to take photos of the exhibit or of the Library which is amazing. If you're in Dublin take the time and walk around Trinity College and stopping at the bookstore and library.
Next stop we will be heading towards the Dingle Pennisula.
