After being on the continent for four ports, and we made our way to the land of saints and scholars.
 |
| First stop: a full Irish breakfast |
 |
| Hey! |
 |
| About time: truth in advertising |
 |
| The Irish optimism in the depths of a rugged realism |

| Culture Night gave us free bus rides |
 |
| And free stories by the upper-deck storytellers |
 |
| I went to the Printer's Museum and saw Gutenberg in action |
 |
| And for the first time in my life, a working Linotype machine (very exciting if you teach media history) |
 |
| In Dublin, any time is Guiness time |
 |
| Dublin Writer's Museum |
 |
| Bust of George Bernard Shaw... Rachel got to see Major Barbara put on in the very theater he wrote it for. |
 |
| James Joyce, one of Marshall McLuhan's great influences, at the Dublin Writer's Museum |
 |
| Our talented actor guides on the Dublin Literary Pub Crawl |
 |
| The crawl ended at Davy Byrnes |
 |
| Where you can still order a glass of port and a gorgonzola cheese sandwich |
 |
| Indeed it is not |
 |
| Rachel in her happy spot: Glendalough, Ireland |
 |
| Hannah and Genevieve in Glendalough |
 |
| Jasper and Adler in the Glendalough stream |

 |
| Genevieve and Adler climb the walls |
 |

 |
| Oliver, Genevieve, Adler on the rocks in the forest |
 |
| Kids with Dad in the waterfall run -- very very cold |
 |
| Dad, why did you make us do that? |
 |
| Adler busted his lip, got to be kangarooed by Mom |
 |
| Jasper, Oliver, Genevieve, Adler the next morning |
 |
| The Glendalough cemetery |
 |
| Adler with the busted lip, the morning after |
 |
| On the way back we stopped at a small beach town |
 |
| Took some pictures |
 |
| Thought about swimming... |
 |
| Tested the waters... |
 |
| Decided to go for it, but then changed our minds... until later when we got used to it. |
 |
| Getting ready for the lifeboat drill as we head out of Ireland to Portugal |
 |
| Littlies in survival gear: hat, warm clothes, close-toed shoes, floatation device, goofy grins |
