Love this picture of the doorman at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin. Loved this hotel and hated that we only spent one day there. The rooms were very elegant and the service outstanding. There was even afternoon tea in the lobby area. One thing that amazed me about Ireland was the toilets. Our toilets are oval shaped and rather long. In Ireland (everywhere), the toilets are round. Completely round and not very large. You really notice it the first time you see one because all of a sudden you have all of this room in the bathroom. Usually stalls in airports are tight squeezes - not in Ireland where the toilets are round and you don't have to move around it to close the door. COOL!!!
Casey is giving a funny look because as we were walking back to the hotel from Trinity College and the Book of Kells, we saw Dartmouth Road. It took us about 5 minutes to convince her to stand in front of the street sign. I have to include this picture because she couldn't believe we made such a big deal of it.
This is a picture of Ireland President Mary Macalease's (sp?)home. It is located in Phoenix Park in Dublin. It's hard to tell from this picture, but a light is always left on in the front window to guide Irish immigrants back home. Mary is the second female president they have had in row. She is well liked. I think the prior president was a Mary as well. 
This is a picture taken from our tour bus on the way to Kilkenney on our 2nd day in Ireland. Everything was so green and uninhabited. All of us kept saying throughout the trip, that if this beauty was in America it would be surrounded by condos and expensive summer homes. We like to spoil beauty so that we can look at it. Here everything was so unspoiled and beautiful.
