Cork to Dublin, July 25, 2006

We heard a wonderful speaker on Monastic Ireland after breakfast.  Then we drove 2.5 hours to Rock of Cashel.  For more information, click here. Saw most of it after a long hike up the hill.  Then we drove 2.5 hours to Dublin.


St. Patrick's Cross

Our hotel , Trinity Capital Hotel, is a former fire station.  Well, actually the fire station is still there---the bays were under our rooms.  I was afraid we'd be up all night with sirens, but we slept well (they didn't turn on the sirens until they were out of the compound)  After dinner we walked around the hotel.
In the Lobby of the hotel.

Our fearless leader, Stephen Delaney

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
