Hello Folks! I know I have not been here ina while but I just got back from the most amazing trip of my life! Ireland is not called the Emerald Isle for nothing! I have seen some of the most beautiful people, country, city life, and cultural spots the world has to offer and I feel very privileged to have been there. It will not be my last time, believe it. For those who ahve never been or was always curious, let me give a few reasons why you should make the journey: Grafton Street ( a mecca of shopping and street performers), Trinity College (where the famous Book Of Kells is on display; don't forget the Long room which houses over 200,000 books of history, literature, and culture), the pubs, the pubs, the pubs (I recommend Brogan's Pub which is a few blocks away from Christ Church Cathedral), the countryside (Bray, and my favorite part, Sally's Gap full of hills and mountains that truly make one feel dwarfed by beauty), and that is just a few! Take care and I will post that essay I keep talking about as well as new musical developments! BKT:)
