Ireland - Day 6

This morning we headed for Dublin, going through some typical countryside: sheep in a field, though they are hard to see in the distance in this photo.
And a ruined famine house, of which there are many.
We stopped at Glendalough on the way, the site of a monastic settlement dating from the 6th century.  It is amazing that the perfect circular tower is still standing.





This scenery is typical of the drive.
We had a city tour of Dublin and drove by many typical Georgian buildings with their colorful doors and windowboxes.

We are spending the next two nights in the Doubletree Hotel in Dublin.
