Cassidy's Fall Break to Dublin

Since we hadn't had Cassidy over for a while, we wanted to take advantage of her few days off for fall break. She was tired of coming to London, so we met in Dublin for a very quick few days. Diana and I flew in on Wednesday so we had a place for Cassidy to crash on her arrival, as she suffers from jetlag really badly.

We had a blast. We toured the city, including St Patrick's cathedral. We also booked a coach tour out to Tara and some of the neolithic monuments. It was kind of cold and rainy, but we did our best. On Saturday we got drenched and decided it was a PJ night. We ordered in pizza and watched TV.

We ate tons of good food, and had a pint or two of the black :) Yes, it's different in Dublin, where Guinness actually tastes like beer. We even toured the Guinness Storehouse and learned to pour our own perfect pint.

Of course, we caught some really good traditional Irish bands as well. every place had several bands playing.

I'm trying a new tool I downloaded and I made a movie of our pictures, set to music. Please let me know what you think, especially those of you on slower links, as I know we have readers on dial-up connections still. I can make 2 more videos with it before I have to pay for it, and don't want to pay unless it's good to use it.
