St. Patrick’s Day began at like 4:00 in the morning. To get on the bus at 5:40, get to the airport at 6 and left at 8 am. We got into Dublin (admittedly, our bus ride to the bus station didn’t make Dublin look too good).

Ah, so nice today. Felt like a Canadian April. I went to the National Gallery of Modern Art. Had a really cool landscaped lawn out front. On days other than today you can apparently walk on it.
