Danur Dublin Eire Rua (The Road Through Dublin, Ireland)



Amazing, is it not?  The flight is actually on time!



The skies outside Dulles Airport



Getting there is half the fun!



My first look at Ireland.



The Radisson Hotel, where we stayed while in Dublin.



The Streets of Dublin.



The street sign advertising the Stag's Head Pub.



The Stag's Head Pub; a very nice place to grab lunch.



This is what most of the streets look like in Dublin; and yes, this is a two way street.



One of the many Cathedrals in Dublin.



The Guinness Brewery.



The entrance to the Guinness Storehouse.
