Since Galway I have stayed in three communities. Dublin was a day and half of art, history and exploring and energetic city by bike. The art highlights included paintings by the old masters including a Vermeer titled Lady In Waiting, a collection of rare books ornately bound in leather, a collection of intricate Japanese ornamental netsukas and readings of excerpts from various novels for The Word On The Street event.
The history occurred wandering through Trinity College and taking a tour of the Dublin prison infamous for the role it played in attempting to prevent the formation of the Republic of Ireland
The second day was taken up riding to Drogheda.
And the third day was a ride to Collingford with a stop mid morning to tour burial tombs built 6000 years ago.
