Wexford to Dublin

We traveled a national motorway, arriving in the city of Dublin by noon. After a short orientation bus tour, we had a photo stop at St. Patrick's Church of Ireland Cathedral. This was followed by our own visit to Trinity College of Dublin. The highlights here were the Book of Kells and the the Long Room. The latter was a magnificent library of ancient manuscripts and busts of famous authors, philosophers, physicians, politicians, etc.  Unfortunately, no pictures or videos were allowed.
