Dublin - What a wonderful city

Good evening.  It's the close of a very busy day 2 in Dublin.  We started off with a tremendous Irish Breakfast and then it was off to explore Dublin. What an amazing city.  So much history and beautiful architecture.

We started with Dublin Castle and the incredible gardens.  On the way to the Castle, we passed by the birthplace and statue of Oscar Wilde.  So much rich history in this city.




Then it was off to the Guinness factory for a lesson in the partnership between a large corporation and a city.  Dublin and Guiness have a win/win relationship with civic engagement and responsibility at the core.



Lunch was served at O'Neils Pub.  The food was terrific and there was a lot of it!!  O'Neils Pub is exactly what an Irish Pub should look like and feel like.  What an amazing experience.


Tonight's match was postponed to next Tuesday due to the participation of many of our opponents in recent Irish National team training.  We took advantage and had a great training session in advance of our match tomorrow in Kilkenny.

They say that if you don't like the weather in Ireland, wait five minutes because it will change. We experienced that tonight at training.  Sunny to rain to hail and back to sunny in 75 minutes.  Which do you think was about to happen as this picture was shot?



It's off to Kilkenny in the morning.  We will be in Waterford tomorrow as well which is one of the oldest cities in Ireland.

Good night for now.  All best..
