Dublin, Ireland

Dublin, Ireland 2009

Dublin has a unique feel.  The city is not overly large, cramped, or busy like New York or London, but its still a city.  There is an element of hustle and bustle about, fine dining, upscale shopping, car horns and sirens in the night... but there are these soft and quiet waterways, beautifully expansive parks, and a softer feel that makes one ultimately comfortable in their surroundings.  I loved Dublin, it is, by far, my most favorite place to visit in the world.  I would go back immediately.

Random Pics

Macon. Georgia 2010

I live in an area that is a mix between a boom area that built up around an Air Force Base during the war years and after and a town that existed during the Civil War and was overlooked by Sherman during his march to the sea...  The good part about that is in downtown, while they are now currently revitalizing the area (and doing a bang up job mind you) they are also attempting to preserve the older architecture and buildings, and sometimes you can find these little corners and alleys that look interesting and amazing... for some reason I loved this little spot.

Over Ireland

The View as we Flew into Dublin / August 2010


It is raining today, not a completely cold rain...temperatures have been in the 30s in the morning lately, but its surprisingly warm this morning...so a cool rain that falls lightly, you hear it... you see it out your window and its not bothersome but kind of relaxing and it reminded me of our first morning in Ireland.  It began raining in a similar style just after we landed in Dublin...  it cooled the city off to around 50 and we wandered the streets after a nine hour overnight flight, exhausted but excited to be there.  I miss it.
