Today is our last day in Ireland before flying home tomorrow. We’re tired and we’re pretty much out of clean clothes.
The sun was out again today and we enjoyed walking in the good weather.
Our first visit was to the Trinity College Library to see the Book OF Kells. There’s no photography of the actual book, but you can take photos of the magnificent Trinity College Library.
Trinity College also has one of the Sphere Within Sphere (Sfera con sfera) sculptures like the one we saw at The Vatican Museums when we visited there last year.
From there we walked over to tour the Chester Beatty Library which has an amazing collection of books, documents and other artifacts. No photos in there, but the sun was shining brightly on the Dublin Castle and the view from the Dubh Linn Gardens was quite nice.
This little courtyard contained the Garda Memorial Garden which pays tribute to police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
We’re going to take it easy the rest of the day. Packing and relaxing before our early, early flight tomorrow morning.
This trip has been amazing. Cynthia and I both agree that the rural part was much better than the city parts, though both were great in their own ways.
