Before crossing the street we had to look the opposite direction of what we are used to for oncoming traffic. These signs are everywhere by crosswalks to remind foreigners like us who have to think twice about which direction traffic is coming from!
The tradition of attaching padlocks to public structures as a symbol
of love is a recent one in Ireland, but has mushroomed in many cities in
Europe over the past decade. In some cases couples inscribe their
names onto the padlock or throw the keys into the nearby water as a
symbol of their ‘everlasting’ love. We found some of these padlocks on the Ha'penny Bridge. But now the city is removing these "lovelocks" and asking couples to refrain from adding any more.If you look closely on the bridge, you can see some padlocks that still remain.
Our favorite place to eat in Dublin was Queen of Tarts. A truly authentic Irish experience! Lots of dessert tarts but also delightful warm meals which included quiche "tarts".
On our last day in Ireland we took the DART, a train that runs within Dublin and in the port towns immediately surrounding Dublin. Very efficient and also inexpensive. A day pass cost approximately $10.
A few snapshots from the administrators conference.......Tim lead the conference and did an amazing job. He is very good at this kind of thing, and I am so proud of him!
