My 10-day trip to Ireland last month was spectacular, a real book lovers' treat. I'm working on some writing about that and will let you know when I'm done. Meanwhile, email me for my Flickr link if you'd like to see all the photos.
One favorite stop was the Martello Tower at Sandycove, where James Joyce lived for a brief time and the setting for the opening scene of Ulysses. ("Stately, plump Buck Mulligan ...")
Another was Glendalough, the ruins of an ancient monastic settlement founded by St. Kevin, circa 500 A.D. (This one really had me thinking of How the Irish Saved Civiliation.) Here's my favorite photo of the trip from Glendalough.
