9/12/17-- The drive from Clifden to Dublin today was 3.5 hours--- we checked in to the hotel Clayton; it's really nice- Dublin is the capital of Ireland & we did the Guinness tour.  Bob went back since he caught such a terrible cold.
After the tour & we went walked around ( in the rain for a while)... then all of us except Bob ate at the oldest Pub in Dublin; The Brazen Head... established in the 1198- Woa!!- photo of menu attached.
Then Jeanie took us to the Temple Bar district.... it was a cobble street heavy pedestrian party area-we went to The Temple Bare, it was really neat ( photo below)... we are all sort of tired & "light weights" this eve- since it was a travel day... more to see in Dublin tomorrow.
