Well, the first day did not go as planned. The flight from Chicago did not leave on time, and I ended up having to re-book the last leg of the trip  to Frankfurt. I'm now waiting at Dublin Airport to check in. I had some surprise time to spend in Dublin, so I went to the Museum of Archaeology only to find it closed on Mondays. So I went to see the Book of Kells. A truly spectacular sight. One is not allowed to take pictures there, so here is one from the Library upstairs from the BoK.

 Following the visit to the Book of Kells I had an interesting breakfast.
