Made it to Dublin

Well, I arrived in Dublin this morning. My trip was extended a bit as my flight from Pittsburgh was delayed three hours due to bad weather in Newark. Who knew they had tornado warnings in Jersey in November?! I missed my connection but was able to get on the last flight out and arrived in Dublin around 9 this morning. By 10 I was at the flat and by 10:30 I was taking a much needed nap. Since I was delayed I missed the chance to go to Barney Castle with the students. But that is ok. Instead I will explore my surroundings here in Dublin.

The flat is right across the street from Christ Church Cathedral and it looks wonderful. I must say the bells work just fine and they have been playing on this Sunday morning. Trinity College is right up the street and that is on my very long list of places to see also. It's very exciting and I find it hard to believe I am actually here.

Of to find lunch. More later...
