Sunshine in Ireland is worth more than a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow in my opinion.
That’s what I’ve experience this weekend in Dublin — glorious warm weather and sunshine. Ireland just had it’s wettest and coldest winter in 37 years. They even had a blizzard in March that dropped several feet of snow on the island. If you don’t think that’s a big deal — it is — because it rarely snows in Ireland
Well the Irish were rewarded this weekend and so was I. I’m here with my cousin Erin. We are doing a few tourist things before heading to Liverpool, England, then County Down, Northern Ireland where we will research our genealogy and get together with our Irish cousins.
People were out in droves in the Dublin streets all weekend. Today we took a tour bus to Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens in County Wicklow, just south of Dublin. Both places were full of tourists and Irish natives, enjoying the sunshine.
For now we are enjoying the weather. Tomorrow we are taking the ferry across the Irish sea to Liverpool, England where are grandmother and grandfather grew up.
So VERY happy, Lois, to be sharing this time with you!
And, SO looking forward to meeting our Irish cousins!!!
Great photos. Keep it coming!
