morning and had a great first day in Dublin. The weather was perfect, as
was the Guinness. After a full Irish breakfast we spent the day walking
throughout the city, with highlights including St. Patrick's cathedral, the
beautiful parks and greens filled with people enjoying the reputedly rare
sunshine, Trinity College, the National Concert Hall, the old city walls,
O'Connell Street, Christ Church and the viking area of town, and the
Jameson distillery. I was asked to taste American, Scotch, and Irish
(Jameson) whiskeys side-by-side, and after making a somewhat pressured
decision I was awarded a certificate (pictured above) for my tasting
"abilities". We enjoyed a great dinner at L'Ecrivain, featuring smoked eel,
quail, and monkfish. After the guys enjoyed a pint of Guinness at Temple
Bar, we all retired to th Westin Dublin.
