One last run...

I managed 36 running miles while on vacation last week and felt like it was no problem getting those miles done. I didn't have to get up too much earlier and didn't hold up any plans. And, as usual, felt like i saw so much more getting in runs in each area we stayed at.

One last run before we head to the airport. We were a block away from Aviva Stadium which seats 51,000 people for various Irish sports (rugby and gaelic football).

Another Dublin Day

A fantastic run and more tourist sites. We nearly didn't see the book of Kells and the Trinity College Long Room Library because the line was so long but it was well worth it. We did skip one site because we were done waiting in lines so yet another reason to come back.

Seagull Saga

Juvenille seagulls huddled. Not quite fully independent yet not quite sure what to do with themselves. This is just outside the front door of our B&B which was a great choice, by the way. Scenic views from the rooms, just a block away the main streets of Galway and an incredible breakfast. I'd go back to The Heron's Rest at any time. it poured Thursday morning and was very windy. K joined me for a 3 mile loop and then i headed out to explore a bit more along the River Carrib. It took two full days for my running clothing to dry.
