Heading out and about

---

We headed out to Howth and further on to Greystanes for a stroll in the rain! YES today the rain caught up with us, very fine but very cold!!! Both are costal villages and very pretty.

train trips to both places, we thought we could get fish and chips at Greystanes but NO, we ended up with nothing - well chinese for 12.50 euros per head - or Mc d's. So ii was Irish beef on the mcd's that won.

Walking around Dubllin we constantly come across memorials to bombings, it's made for long conversations with the kids about civil wars, religion and terrorism. It is very confronting to see in 1974 three car bombs went off in one day here, killing so many people. Has certainly made the kids reflect on the differences between home and here.

Freezing by the time we got back here - my plan was to sleep - but no, more trip planning to be done as only 99 days till Oasis of the seas!!!. 2 hours later I gave up and we headed out to dinner. On O'Connell st - Maddigans emporium, Kids -fish and chips, me irish stew and soda bread!, Greg beef and guinness pie (with a few pints of Killkenny). highly recommend it!
