Dublin, Day 5

It's about 10:00am as I write this. The day is, in the words of U2, "A Beautiful Day." Sunny, no clouds, no wind, high 60's, not a cloud to be seen. Might be the best weather day we've had. Was out early. Grabbed a coffee (one coffee shop -- close by -- is named "Insomnia"...priceless), walked up to the Liffey River, lit up a Cuban (my first ever, somewhat pricey), took a seat, and just watched the river roll on. Not the "breakfast of champions" but a great start to the day. I am so enjoying this trip. This city, the time with Megs, just terrific.
We're looking at our last three days here. We've seen a ton of sights and we just want to chill and relax in the time left. Today we're taking a bus tour around the city followed by a stop at the Writer's Museum. I'd like to hear some "live" music tonight which probably means visiting Temple Bar area tonight.
Fact I learned this morning. There are actual fish in the Liffey River -- actually the river didn't look like it could support fish but there they were swimming around. I hadn't seen any in the couple of days before this.
