upcoming travels, a few photos
Apparently the sheep, cattle, foxes, and even the haws (new vocabulary word!) portend a white Christmas this year. Weather permitting, I’m off to London late on Christmas Eve to stay in a hostel for three nights before heading off to Morocco for a holiday (as they say around here), where the weather should be much sunnier and warmer than here in Dublin.
Should be back to Dublin late on Sun., Jan. 3, but my connection in London involves switching airports and airlines (all to save a few bucks!), so it’s possible I won’t make my connection and will need to stay the night in London. For those I don’t speak to before leaving, merry Christmas and happy New Year!
If my packing goes well on Thursday, I’ll snap some daytime photos of the apartment for sharing before I leave.
In the meantime, a few shots of Dublin that I’ve snapped this month.

Grand Canal (close to my new apartment!):
Oh, while I’m citing local news reports, I know a few people will be relieved to know that the Guinness storehouse near the center of Dublin did not burn down. So we’ll still be able to go on a tour when you visit!

The silver building with rings of blue glass on the left in the second picture is falling over. Is that why there are cranes nearby?

Nah, that building is supposed to be on an angle! I’ll get a better shot of it for ya one of these days.
