Dragonfly Day
To be completely honest, I’ve never really thought about where Dragonflies come from. But if I had thought about it, I probably would have said they hatched from eggs and then … I don’t know … grew up … in … Continue reading
The Giant’s Causeway
We’ve always wanted to see the Giant’s Causeway, so we absolutely had to include in on our itinerary for this trip. We had considered renting a car, but in the end (fortunately) we opted for a bus tour to spare … Continue reading
Belfast

Rainy Day in Dublin
We are staying on the western edge of Temple Bar in Dublin. I’m really quite pleased that we are on the edge of Temple Bar because it would be a lot rowdier if we were in the center. This is … Continue reading
Dublin
The flight from Montreal to Dublin is relatively short at just over six hours. Of course, that means that even if you close your eyes immediately after takeoff, and if you can sleep just about anywhere, you are still going … Continue reading
