Dublin Day Four: Art, a long walk and drinks with a friend by Ann Treacy

It was a leisurely day today. Aine and I took a long walk-through town. We stopped in Project Art Centre, which has long been one of my favorites, small experimental art. We saw Culchie Boy, I Love You by Kian Benson Bailes. It’s interesting with sort of an animal-predatory undercurrent with Irish roots.

We walked down the Liffey toward the bay. We stopped in at St Mary’s and found some very modern and imploring ways to get donations.

Then we walked and talked and saw great street art, felt the wind in our faces, got rained on intermittently. We stopped at the Grand Canal Docks.

Poor Aine walked so much more than she wanted to – and she was a great sport. But it was really nice to spend time together. At night I met up with an old friend Karina. It’s always fun to catch up with my friend who knows more about books than anyone I’ve ever known. I tried Korean food for the first time, which I really liked and we enjoyed a few pints. Kate went to Dun Laoghaire on her own, which was great given she’ll soon be living in Ireland. And both Kate and Aine met with their Uncle Fearghal for dinner. A good time was had by all.
