A weekend in and around Dublin

We met some wonderful new friends whose hospitality over the weekend was, to say the least, overwhelming. They served us gourmet meals, introduced us to their very interesting friends (and with them regaled us with story after story), and toured us all around the Dublin area. On Saturday, we visited the St. Kevin's monastery site in Glendalough. You can see some pics at our flickr site: the ones tagged "Dublin weekend" that begin with the one here (a 12th-century cross that sits at the corner of their property). We were well and truly blessed, and we're very grateful.
