Flat Stanley arrives in Las Vegas

Croke Park

So we did the Skyline Tour at Croke Park in Dublin today. This is the 4th largest stadium in Europe and the tour was just along the top of the stadium. We had to wear harnesses for the whole tour and had a 360 degree view of Dublin. It was a fantastic experience and one that I would highly recommend when visiting Dublin.

Molly Malone

In Dublin's fair city,
Where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"

My goodness, my Guinness

Kenny, Michele and I at the gravity bar at the Guinness factory drinking pints that we all poured ourselves. Michele and I arrived in Dublin yesterday and saw the seals at Howth and then went to my local the Autobahn for a drop of the black stuff.

This ones for you Dad.

So my dad is a big fan of the movie "Pulp Fiction" and loves the dialogue about what they call a quarter pounder in France. So here is a picture of the Royal family of burgers at the McDonalds in Paris across the street from us. As an interesting side note the McDonalds is located immediately next to an x-rated movie theatre. Bet Ray Kroc wouldn't be too enthused about that.

Au revoir Parie

This photo was taken last night and I'm eating a Nutella crepe. Unfortunately they had run out of bananas because a Nutella-banana crepe would have been unbelievable. As it was it was pretty outstanding. Today we have to walk to the train station (gard du nord), and catch the train to Charles de Gaulle airport for our 2:10pm Aer Lingus flight to Dublin. My best friend and college roommate will be waiting for us in Dublin with an Irish limo aka his car and we will be off for fun filled adventures on the Emerald Isle.

Decisions, decisions.

Just can't decide what I want for lunch today? Is it gonna be the sand tortilla or the ass kebab, they both sound so good. Today we went to the largest flea market in Europe. Then swung by the catacombs and then the Gardin de Luxembourg aka Luxembourg Gardens. The garden is the 2nd largest park in Paris and also where the French Senate is located.
