A handy bicycle parked at an Irish pub in my family home town, Co.Offaly.
'.....I walked straight up to the door and looked in.
I saw, standing with his back to me, an enormous policeman.......He was standing behind a little counter in a neat whitewashed day-room; his mouth was open and he was looking in a mirror which hung upon the wall....."It's my teeth",
I heard him say ,abstractedly and half-aloud....He came over ponderously to the inside of the counter and I advanced meekly from the door until we were face to face.
"Is it about a bicycle?", he asked.

Una pinta de excelsa cerveza irlandesa, cuya blanca espuma, ámbar color y verde posavasos, recordome aquella bella patriótica tonada "White, orange and green", de tiempos de la guerra de la independencia irlandesa (1919-1921).
Dedicada a mi buen amigo Aurelio, que fue quien se la bebió :-)

A pint of delicious Irish beer, whose white foam, amber color and green coaster, reminded me of that beautiful patriotic tune "White, orange and green" from the time of the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921). Dedicated to my good friend Aurelio; it was he who drank that pint :-)

(Kind of) Modern Still-Life for the Irish traditional pub. I like this place so charming & has a great character too.

I've posted a shot of just Claddagh's and the movies by themselves, I figured I should post the one of both of them together! They complement each other nicely, the pub being warm tones and the movie theatre being bright neon!
Enjoy your weeks!

The National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology is the central repository for Ireland's archaeological artefacts, located on Kildare Street, Dublin. The building itself is a landmark Victorian-Palladian structure featuring a magnificent rotunda and mosaic floors. The collections span over 7,000 years of Irish history, from the Mesolithic period to the Late Middle Ages. One of the most famous exhibits is the 'Treasury,' featuring iconic Celtic Christian metalwork. Priceless pieces like the Ardagh Chalice and the Tara Brooch are housed here. The museum also showcases one of the most significant collections of prehistoric gold in Europe. Another major highlight is the display of the well-preserved Iron Age 'bog bodies.' Additionally, there is an extensive section dedicated to Viking Age artefacts recovered from the Wood Quay excavations in Dublin. Admission is free.
Working in the office today so I decided I'd continue my 'what would tourists take a photo of' series.
In September we went to Caiscais and Lisbon for a break. Caiscais is a beautiful resort town on the outskirts of the great city. Easily accessed by public transport it has a charm all its own with lovely restaurants, pleasant walks and beautiful old building coupled with sea views to make for a perfect holiday destination. Just off the seafront is this small square with the town hall and these two buildings. The one on the right appears to be a church though it does not have too many religious symbols other than the two bells over the door. Beside is the "Residencial Parsi" with the ubiquitous "Irish Pub". When I saw the name O'Neill I gave an inward groan as Irish Pubs are for foreigners as far as I am concerned but the O'Neill is real. Jorge O'Neill, a descendant of the great Owen Roe O'Neill, a great man of Irish history had quite a bit of property here and left a lasting mark.

The Guinness Storehouse is Ireland's most popular tourist attraction and is considered the "Home of Guinness," located within the historic St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin.
Building and Structure: The visitor center is housed in the brewery's former fermentation plant, a seven-story building dating back to 1904. Its stunning glass atrium is shaped like a giant pint of Guinness, which, if filled, would hold millions of pints.
The Experience: The interactive exhibition narrates the story of Guinness from its foundation in 1759 (when Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease) to the present day. The tour covers the four ingredients (water, barley, hops, and yeast), the brewing process, the history of its iconic advertising, and the art of pouring the "perfect pint."
The Highlight (Gravity Bar): The visit culminates at the Gravity Bar, located on the top floor. This bar offers breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views across the Dublin skyline, where visitors can enjoy the complimentary pint of Guinness included with their admission ticket.

Grand Canal Dock is a Dublin docklands district that has undergone a spectacular urban transformation. Originally opened in 1796 as one of the world's largest docks, the area became derelict by the mid-20th century. Regeneration began in the late 1990s, converting the former industrial land into a thriving technological and residential hub. It is now famously nicknamed "Silicon Docks" due to the high concentration of European headquarters for tech giants like Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The area is noted for its modern architecture, including the striking Grand Canal Square designed by Martha Schwartz. It is also home to the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, Ireland's largest fixed-seat theatre, designed by Daniel Libeskind. The district has become one of Dublin's most desirable and vibrant areas, blending history (such as the old Boland's Mill) with luxury apartments and modern offices.
