Sounds from Dublin

Every night, the ChristChurch Cathedral bells play their Evensong at 6:00PM. For 45 minutes


Tonight we attended the Traditional Irish Music Pub Crawl. Which was very entertaining, educational, and a lot of fun. Tomorrow we hope to get "locked in" to a music session!


A lot of good music has been heard today. Unfortunately, the pub downstairs is currently hosting drunken karaoke. So we'll probably be up for a while, listening to more bad renditions of Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Lights. Sigh...

  1. Bill & Jen,

    Thanks for the cool posts. Looks like a blast! Mom & Dad wanted me to pass along that they are also reading along, but can't figure out how to post comments (go figure).

    Take care,
    Todd

  3. @The Wilkinsons - Thanks for letting us know Mom & Dad are reading along, too. It makes it more fun posting when we know folks are laughing along with us (not at us).

    @ToniGirl - Yes, we slept right by the bells when we were trying to get used to this time zone. The first night in Dublin I listened to the church chime 2:00, 2:15, 2:30, 2:45, 3:00, well, you get the picture. And yes, that was Seamus Finnigan - we saw him leave the Musical Pub Crawl by Quiddich broom!
