Dublin!

Well, since we have started the trend of disclaimers, here we go. Given our "constant" wardrobe, you may think we've been incredibly productive and seen Ireland in one day...unfortunately that is not the case. Ireland began a cold snap before we arrived and given our highly limited selection of warm clothes among our highly limited selection of clothes, we are on an extremely tight rotation. Please see below - all of Alexis's clothes, with Scout included for scale.


Spoiler alert - things have not changed much in Copenhagen.

But onto Dublin - we had a great time making our way around the city. Not surprisingly, top on our list were two key locations.




Mike was selected as a Jameson taste tester and came out on the top of the class. Guess all the practice was good for something (aside from a large dentist bill)!


His newest diploma will take its rightful place alongside his Jack Daniels diploma. Meanwhile, his Amherst diploma is currently unaccounted for.

We also brushed up a bit on our Irish history with a tour of the Kilmainham Jail and the Trinity College library.



Alexis found something at the library much more entertaining than the ancient Book of Kells.


Other highlights included gazing and sampling impressive selections of Irish whiskey and listening to Irish music in the famous (infamous?) Temple Bar (where Jim Heaney may or may not have been playing accordion).



That's all for now - more to come from Scandinavia!
