Day 18...Still Sunny and a Bus Tour Of Dublin

Here are a few pictures from our last day...sob...yet sunny again. This is Trinity Tower at Trinity College, the church which houses the Book of Kells, including the 4 Gospels and the Irish writing from over 1000 years ago. The city itself is bisected by the Liffey River, and much like Paris's Seine, has made the waterway a major point of interest throughout its east/west route.

A huge spire commemorates something important, but after 19 days of Irish History, I kinda forgot...although you have to admit it looks cool...

The Double Decker Bus Tour was a perfect way to see the city's highlights, including Christ Church dating back to 1000 A.D. and the Vikings...

Saint Patrick's Church was also beautiful...but not as beautiful as my angel :)))

Of course, would a trip like this, even one to Ireland, be complete without a great Italian dinner? The restaurant, Calzone, could be one of Peggy's all time favorite

The creativity of the young chef, and quality of the ingredients made for joy all the way around the table...

and with 100% organic beef, Peggy and Ann want you all to know that this is the place to visit on your next Dublin adventure!

We finished off the evening in the Hilton Bar with a pint of Guinness, a Bulmer's Pear Cider and an Irish Coffee...what a way to end a superb, God-blessed adventure to this Eire-land. A land filled with amazing scenery, wonderful foods, exquisite beverages and mostly, fun and interesting people. May God bring unity to this land! And may He continue to bless our travel home! We truly had a craic (which means fantastic) time together. The Henirichs and Gubitzs signing off for the final time on this the 18the glorious day!!!!
