Dublin Fabulousness!
We had a tour of Dublin Castle and visited two cathedrals today. We also went to the National Museum of Ireland and ate lunch in a beautiful park. The weather is rainy and misty- good thing we brought a jacket! Tonight we are eating in an Irish pub and listening to traditional irish music. Tommorrow we are going to Bray, Ireland by train- it is on the coast, so it should be beautiful. I also bought a shot glass today that has the Allen family seal on it! Miss all of you! MLE

Yes, Emily, it's true - you are part Irish! There are a couple of Allens that married Irish lassies in America. Also, the Bell's were "Scots-Irish". They moved from Scotland to Ireland in the 1600's and then to America.
"Erin go bre" means "Ireland the beautiful". "Erin go deo" means "Ireland forever". The first word you should learn in a foreign language is "beautiful". Then everything becomes beautiful! : )
"Dublin go bre" . . . "Ale go bre" . . . "Mutton go bre" . . . "Waterford go bre" . . . "Leprechauns go bre".
Locals love folks who think everything is beautiful, in its own way . . .
Be safe and have fun, Daddy.
That is so cool about the shot glass. I wish that you were in Scottland so you could get me a Killen one. Oh well! Have fun!
