'Dublin'

We popped over to see Colin and Deirdre in Dublin. First thing was first, we found a nice pub to get a pint of Guinness

Because of all the shady goings on in the church, there's a been a lot of public protests. On this street, people had hung up baby shoes

On the same street, just outside the Arch Bishops house, this guy was on Hunger Strike

As you can see, there was a lot of baby shoes

After our trip to Dublin, we headed round to BC & Deirdre house for a BBQ

BC had a small wood chimney. The flames from the top were quite impressive

On Saturday, Carol and I checked out Swords Castle. It was rubbish as we couldn't get in to it

After the disappointment of the Castle, we all headed to the beach and as in all the advertising you see telling you come to Ireland, there's a horse being ridden on a beach. Here's the proof

Sun burnt and ready for the races. We headed to the dags for dinner and gambling at Shelbourne Park

Carol won 3 out of the 11 races that evening. Deirdre won 1 and the BC and I got bugger all

We could see the new Lansdowne Road stadium from the dog racing grandstand
