DUBLIN the girls (22 and 17) went on a Princess tour of a monastery. They enjoyed it. I stayed in to do wash and relax. I Later took the ship shuttle into town (4 miles) and had a delightful time window shopping on Grafton Street with the 60 degree weather. They have a great gift shop on the walk to Grafton with sales on Waterford Crystal
We could not get into Cook's tavern for lunch. It would have been fun. We just walked around. We ate in McDonalds (horrors!) The people are friendlier in the Republic of Ireland.
