dublin snow

Dublin rarely gets snow but it seems like it's been falling for the last three days straight! We certainly don't have much to show for it - it either stops or starts raining just long enough for it to melt into slush. Here's the latest from outside our door.

lunch with alan and pamela

Today we had lunch with Pamela and Alan who we've met at church. The view pictures are taken from the deck of their top floor condo/apartment. Absolutely gorgeous.

Here's Rob reading the paper with a glass of sherry.

After lunch, we went to their boat for a cup of coffee.

herbert park

One of the many parks within walking distance from where we live.

sandymount strand

This is Sandymount Strand. There is a long boardwalk that goes out to a lighthouse and you can walk out on the beach hundreds of yards because it is so shallow. Lots of dogs.

This is Lilly who we watched for quite a while when she was running frantically around the beach trying to find the ball her owner hit out with a tennis racket.
