WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BRITISH AND THE IRISH?
To the Brits it's always serious but never hopeless,
and to the Irish, it's always hopeless but never serious.
+ + + + +
Thus, my time descending into Dublin was the last I read James Joyce or contemplated anything in earnest (a habit that reveals my British anscestry). The rest of the time was spent with Guinness in hand, surrounded by the constant ironic humor of Johnny and his friends.
We also managed to do a bit of sightseeing in the countryside, and toured Dublin in one of those duck vehicles that navigates on land and in water. Saw U2's recording studio, and the book of Kells at Trinity College.
