Dublin

On October 31 we went to Dublin, Ireland for a long weekend. We had a wonderful time with our friends Ben & Wenhua. They showed us all around the city. They live in a beautiful Georgian house in a nice section of the city. From their front windows you can see the "Irish Hills" and they are about a 30 minute walk from the city centre. We had such a fun weekend! Here are a few pictures...






This is inside St Stephen's Green Park.


A boat in one of the Grand Canal locks. Ben said they have never seen a boat in a lock the whole time they've lived there!


The Castle


This is a unique building going up along the River Liffey



Immigration building...John's great grandfather probably came through here.
