Louie took us on a helicopter tour of the Irish countryside today – the highlight of our trip! Omega has a Bell, Long Ranger – seats six – and it is the very best way to deal with Dublin traffic! Louie, our “tour guide,” took us on a route along the coastline, over the countryside and several ancient castles, followed the Boyne River and circled the Killeen Golf Club where the Solheim Golf Tournament was taking place. It was a lovely, clear morning and what a treat!
We ate lunch at a “carvery” – it’s a pub where they have a buffet and carve beef and turkey. It was like Thanksgiving dinner! Yummmm!
Roger and Judy drove the car to the golf tournament and Marilou and I took a taxi back to Dublin and, you guessed it, went shopping again!
We went to the “Temple Bar” area of Dublin for dinner – like 6th Street in Austin, the Riverwalk in San Antonio, or the French Quarter in New Orleans – shops, restaurants, pubs and street entertainers! A crazy place on Friday nights!
