Return

Got back yesterday. Went to bed at 9:30pm and woke up around 3:30am. Did a bunch of laundry, went to the gym and the grocery. After lunch went to three places on the Open House Chicago list in Hyde Park.

First stop was the science museum. 

After that was the Hyde Park Bank lobby followed by a church.

Walked around town, visited the national library, the national museum, saw The Book of Kells, had our last fish and chips dinner and went to a rollicking pub with live music.

Ireland Day 4

We struck out after breakfast this morning, on our way to Dingle.

Saw two rainbows on our way, you can kind of see one below. 

A sandy beach we saw on the way.

Finally made it to Dingle, got checked in to our accommodation and walked into town.

Took a distillery tour and tasting this afternoon.

After an excellent dinner we went to a pub that is a hardware store during the day and pub in the evening. Met two nice fellas there.

 

Day 3

 Day 3: There was road construction in front of the place we were staying. The road workers kindly laid down things to make a surface for me to walk on, as the fresh asphalt was hot and wet. The town was cute, there was an ancient stone circle and

we had a great meal and met some folks. The today Show will be there a few days from now.
