St. Stephen's Green
Yesterday was probably one of my favorite days in Dublin. My friend Susan and I decided to have a picnic--and we went all out! We packed some crackers and cheese and brought along some poetry. The we stopped at the farmer's market (there is one every day at the City Center) and got some pears and blueberries and bread. Then we headed down to St. Stephen's Green (which, if you've ever read The Dubliners, is referenced quite a bit). It was such a nice little scene!
Afterwards we went to Ireland's National Gallery, an art museum (have I mentioned all museums are free?) and on one of the floors there was a really neat exhibit on Harry Clarke, an Irish artist who illustrated Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales in 1916. I bought myself a postcard as a souvenir.

Looks yummy & sounds beautiful, but what's that dark red stuff in the cup?

ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds great. You're motivating me to brush up on Joyce! It's been years...and then some.
