Dublin

Dublin is large, busy and young.  We saw many people jogging, cycling or walking briskly in this metropolitan area of nearly one million.  It is an international banking hub with a diverse population.   We saw several highlights of the city but only scratched the surface.  Here is a quick look at what we saw in today's Dublin.

 This is a replica of the "famine" ship, The Jeannie Johnston.  It made several successful voyages with Irish immigrants leaving desperate conditions during the Potato Famine of 1845-52.  The sculptures are a tribute to those who left everything behind in search of a better life.
