Dublin Folks

  We love meeting new people! Fellow travelers, diplomats, just plain folks, all bring a level of enjoyment to this adventure that we would not get just looking at tourist attractions. From the beginning of this journey back in October, to where we are now, meeting new folks and sharing experiences had been absolutely amazing. Followers of our blog are probably well aware of this from the number of postings we have made about all of the wonderful people we have met along the way. Dublin has proven to be just as fertile a ground for "meet and greet" as any of the other places we have visited. Here are the folks we have met here:

Milan, from Slovenia, was at the junction of O'Connell and Talbot streets in the center of Dublin when we met him.

James was our guide for a three hour walking tour of Dublin. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Dublin and his stories made this city tour quite enjoyable.

We met Kevin and Manuela at Le Bon Crubeen restaurant.

While stopping in at the Dublin Tourist Information Center, we had a lovely chat with Kate, Jaime, and Rhona.

Of course, like other cities, Dublin has its share of impressive characters. The "pigeon man" was in St. Stephen's park feeding "his" pigeons. He told us that he has made a hobby of rehabilitating injured birds and then bringing them back to the park. He visits them daily in the park to offer them food.

Only open for the past nine days, "The Story of the Irish" in Smithfield Square provides a unique multi-media look at Ireland's history. Christina and Aoife checked us in.

Surrounded by Lorraine and me, Claire was the lead character presenter for "The Story of the Irish" museum.

Amy and Rebecca took care of our sweet-tooth cravings at the Sweet Republic IceCream store.

Of course, no visit to Dublin would be complete without "meeting" Molly Malone...
