Dublin




Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, has one of the loveliest settings in Europe. On Dublin Bay, the Town of the Hurdle Ford--Baile Atha Cliath in Gaelic--is sheltered on the north by the rocky mass of Howth Head. The River Liffey flows through the center of the city and is crossed by many picturesque bridges. The name Dublin is derived from tne Gaelic word of black pool:dublinn
Dublin has produced some of the world's greatest literary figures. Most notably, the city was the home of James Joyce, nearly all of whose writings are based in the city of his birth. Also born in Dublin were Oscar Wilde, who attended Trinity College, and Jonathan Swift, who served as Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral. George Bernard Shaw was born at No.33 Synge St. in 1856. Other well-known Dubliners include Edmund Burke, Thomas Moore, James Stephens, Sean O'Casey, Samuel Beckett and Richard Brinsley Sheridan.

Rhine River Cruise




These photos were taken last 2 weeks ago during our trip to Rhine River cruise. The cruise started at Bingen port to St. Goar. We stopped at St. Goar and have some ice cream and took some pictures. St. Goar is a small city but wonderful. Full of castles both side of the river. Very nice city....
Have a nice day to y'all....

4th of July Weekend in Partnach Gorge





These photos were taken last weekend for our 4th of July celebration. We walked for more than 2 hours from the camping site to the Partnach Gorge. We got lose many times but we still found it and when we got there, it was beautiful and amazing site. It was worth it to walked that long and even though I was tired and sore for walking it was worth while. We ended up walking because the trip from Edelweiss Lodge and Resort was full and so we decided to walk instead of driving because the receptionist said that it only takes 45 minutes to walk. Since I want to have an exercise that day, we planned to walk. I was pissed because we always missed the turn and it took us more than 2 hours to get the Partnach Gorge. It was really beautiful and I was planning to go back there next time we go there (maybe next year!). I recommend to all people who likes to hike and see the wonderful God made.
Have a wonderful day y'all.....

Dublin, Ireland


Me, my daughter Leera and my husband's niece Eclipse posing at Dublin Zoo in Ireland during our 1 week vacation in London. The kids were having fun seeing african savannah animals. Eclipse even making face about the giraffe, he he... The weather was hot and thank God it wasn't raining at Ireland when we went there. Irish people said that the weather there is always raining 7 days a week. It was really nice day at Dublin.
