I am not trying to sell You Dublin.
It's selling itself pretty easily.
In a good/bad (depending how you view it) but truthfully anyway.
Great observation and a nice sense of you standing apart, taking it all in - Dublin. the good, the bad and the ugly.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Never been to Dublin, but like you say--it sells itself pretty good :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great description of Temple Bar. I've been there, so I can totally picture all of this happening. Sounds like it hasn't changed a bit.
