The last day in Dublin is always bittersweet. I’ve had an amazing time, I’m cold and tired and I’m OK to go home tomorrow and I hate flying so much I’m also already sick. As a special treat the winds are about 25 miles per hour today. I was almost worried about my glasses flying off my face. But Kate and I can think tough. So tough we took the DART to Howth. Poor Kate is still under the weather, so she didn’t last long. I just about made it to the end of the closest pier and back. You can see how crazy the wind was from the video below. But it was nice to see Dublin Bay from the Northside.

We headed back to town for lunch and last-day shopping. It was a good activity on a windy-cold but bright and dry afternoon.

I snuck into The Project Arts to get us tickets to our night show and got to see Kate Cooper’s Ground Truth. I used to drag the girls here to see very, very modern art. Kate will admit now that she doesn’t like modern art – but something must have swayed her to the art world.

We went to see Ghosts at night. It’s a one-person show that recounts different stories spanning Gen X fears to the anxieties of adulthood woven together with Greek myths and ghostly tales to create a uniquely engaging, frightening and relatable experience. It was funny, relatable and thoughtful. Then we ended my visit with drinks at Grogan’s. I had not been there in a long time. I forgot how much I liked that well-managed plavce.
