"Reflections"

Too much to try and catch up on…

We are in Dublin for a few days. We arrived Wed. night during a day-long rain storm. I noticed around nine o’clock that the skies were clearing and that it was going to be a clear and crisp night. I grabbed the camera bag and ran down to the River Liffey. This river that runs through the heart of the city was once sailed by the Vikings when they first settled this area. I stood admiring the city when I noticed a ship off in the distance. I decided to investigate and boy am I glad that I did. This majestic sailing ship is a part of the Mexican navy. Yep…. The Mexicans have a navy! I tried to find out where the ship was going and why it was in Dublin, but the sailors that I was talking to did not speak enough English for me to discover the whole story. The men invited me aboard, and I was able to wander around for a few minutes on this amazing ship!








On a side note… Dee and I went to the Dublin Zoo Thursday morning… so stay tuned for some pictures! Here is one of the most beautiful creatures we saw there.
