I am trying hard to reflect fondly on Dublin. But what comes to mind when I think back are things like “where the &*#% are the @#%$ street signs?!” and “who &#^$% came up with this *&#$ !#@& street layout” as we coast through yet another traffic circle in an ever growing circuit around Dublin. I guess Dublin is like Washington, D.C. – there are some great places to visit, but for God’s sake don’t go by car. I wonder if you can safely stay out after dark in Dublin. God knows you can’t in DC.
Well we were going to be in Dublin for a few days so I figured I’d try to adjust. I was happy just yelling “Out of my way, I’m American!” but Susan didn’t want any international incidents. Thank God there’s Guinness. It helps restore my patience to pre-jet lag levels.
After parking the rental at the hotel we decided walking was the best option. Here are some other photos from hiking around town. Ireland has some hysterical street signs.
