Lunch in Port Laoise Ireland Tue Jun 7, 2022

Bob Rogers Travel rocks! Liam (left) and Adrian (right) are knocking themselves out to make sure we have a great time. Case in point; After our morning on the Rock of Cashel, they arranged for us to have a good lunch at a carvery (buffet) at a hotel on our way to Dublin.


You could get anything there from just a scone or a salad to a full hot lunch. I had steak and kidney pie and a delicious lemon tart and felt much better and ready to tour around Dublin on our bus until we were able to check into Samuel Hotel, just opened in April


First glimpses of Dublin and the River Liffey from the bus. Today we learned someone in the group tested positive for COVID via self test and was getting an official PCR test


I liked the Georgian architecture of Dublin, and details like these wrought iron street lamps


Liam took us through Phoenix Park, twice as large as Central Park in NYC. Hundreds of thousands of people came here to see Pope John Paul II (cross marks the place where he spoke)


The US Embassy moved into Phoenix Park, near where the President of the Republic of Ireland lives
