It's another relatively warm day about 60 degrees but it's dreary as can be. I'm trying not to be disappointed by the weather since I'm at least not freezing every moment of the day but it's still a bit depressing especially since Jean Marie said either wish for warmth or wish for sun but you're not going to get both so don't bother even giving it a moments thoughts. I am still going to think good thoughts that we'll be fortunate enough to have the unexpected happen and the clouds will break and the sun will grace us with it's presence.
We had a lovely trip to Dublin passing many pastures filled with cows, horses and my favorites, the sheep. They're just adorable little white cotton balls with precious little black faces and feet.
Dublin greeted us with very little snow but what is left is dark and dirty and is reminiscent of the streets in New York after a snow storm. I suppose it's a good thing we don't have to trek around town much tonight although there were lots of people out especially walking along the Liffey River and there were a few walking over the Ha'Penny Bridge. There is some folk lore about being kissed this bridge but I don't recall what it is but the women in the this picture does look like she's waiting for something or perhaps she's waiting for her true love to meet her for a special Ha' Penny rendezvous.
We are staying in a charming old hotel in the center of town, Ripley's Court and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. They made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. The hotel isn't far off from the ferry port where we pick up the bo
at tomorrow morning for our 7 hours ride over to Liverpool, UK. I'm looking forward to the boat ride as I always enjoying being on the open water.We will just relax the rest of the day which is always a nice treat.
