May 16 - Driving the Wicklow Mountains

We decided to take one last scenic drive before we turn in our car this afternoon.  So we headed off into the Wicklow Mountain area south of Dublin along some scenic routes.  We have found that all routes in Ireland are scenic routes but some more so than others.

Some of the roads were lined with trees making them shady and a bit magical.

Ireland is coming up on major Europe Elections and some of the intersections looked just like those in the US leading up to an election.

Late afternoon we turned the car in and then caught a bus back into Dublin.  It stopped just across the street from our hotel so it was very convenient.

This evening we had a dinner show at the oldest pub in Ireland, established in 1178.  

The evening included a couple of “crusty” old guys on guitars and a storyteller.  The stories were interesting but the Storyteller needed to up her game to be a good storyteller.
