Ireland

Blessings and greetings from Dublin. Arrived here this evening from San Francisco via London. It was a great trip, except for all the security checks at San Francisco, and especially at London. I was getting excited about leaving SF as the plane taxied on the runway only to cruise back to the terminal. We found out that there were two luggages that were on board without the passengers. After an hour and half and solving the problem we were off to London. The plane trip was nine and half hours with two meals and lots of movies on board. I was tired and excited to land in London; security and off to Dublin. We took the bus to the Marianist residence at Ballybrack which is half hour from downtown Dublin. It was a thrill seeing downtown with Trinity College, National Museum of Ireland, etc while riding on the bus. Took several pictures on the bus; notice the picture advertising the Ryder Cup, golf event in two weeks here in Ireland. Let's cheer on the Americans.
