ire6.jpg (94870 bytes)  More of me in front of the Daniel O'Connell statue on O'Connell Street

ire8.jpg (75076 bytes)  Note the yawning homeless guy behind me.   Adds so much drama to the photo

ire7.jpg (61387 bytes)  This photo and next, check out this big giant pole!  Right on O'Connell Street in Dublin.  It's huge.
