Dublin With Neighbors

On our return from County Kerry, we had another night in Dublin.  Originally, it was supposed to be a quick stop on our way out of Ireland and on to Germany.  Well, it turned into more than that.

Our neighbors in Dallas, ‘G’ and Renzo, told us they were going to be in Dublin while we were there, G’s from Dublin and her family still lives there.  The only day we had available was Thursday as we passed through.  I’m glad we made the connection, the evening was good craic as my friend Nigel taught me to say, a good time.  In the picture are G, Ellen, Me, Susan, Renzo and Kevin.  We’d met G’s younger sister Sarah, her husband Shane and their son Tom earlier.

These kind of meetings have changed my outlook on travel, my focus is now more on people and interactions.  The places and things are still important but, what would they all be and mean without people?
