Last Dublin morning

marinessIt is cold - even by normal standards; people in Dublin are hurrying by in coats, August or not. The seagulls look damp. Well, seagulls always look damp, but you know what I mean. Duolingo has just informed me that their free language program for Irish Gaelic has just become available. Great timing, Duolingo.
I'm packing up to leave: Hurricane Cristobal has kindly enough not aimed for Florida; the Iceland volcano hasn't exploded. Yet.
I do feel cheated on Ireland - I should have arranged to spend more time here, and I barely saw any of it - but the same thing could be said about virtually every point on this trip, really (except for the London ExCel center - I think I saw enough of that). Another trip, another time. So I will get to know you later, Ireland. Because yes, I do plan to return. (Also to Bath.)
And also yes, I know I owe plenty of blog posts - but as anyone who has chatted with me over the last few days can confirm, coherency is not my strong point at the moment, so that will have to wait just a little bit.
