Dublin Day Six: Windy Dun Laoghaire, a pint at Whelan’s by Ann Treacy

Dun Laoghaire is a port town and 15 miles south of Dublin. When we lived near here when the girls were young; we lived closer to Dun Laoghaire to Dublin City Center. So, in many ways, visiting Dun Laoghaire is more like a trip back to my second home that going to Dublin. Aine and I went to walk down the pier. It was a terrible day for a walk down the pier. There was a on-and-off heavy mist and the wind could have set a small dog flying. But that strong wind will clear the cobwebs right out of your brain. I kind of loved it. Then while Aine had a moment of peace I checked out the Maritime Museum. They have an amazing window/light from a lighthouse that is fairly amazing!

We took the DART there, walked the pier and then came home. Initially we had plans to visit other hot spots, such as the People’s Park but we decided to kowtow to the weather. We strolled in the rain and I realized, I could live here again.

At night I took a stroll by myself. I saw some prescient street art and went into Whelan’s for a pint. Now we’re waiting for a 4am uber for the next adventure…
