Glorious day for Howth. Sunny , clear sky and sparkling water had everyone out and about. Had a variety of things to eat from the Sunday market and watched dogs playing catch with seaweed in the water.
Went back in the afternoon to the city. Walked around Merrion square with it's Oscar Wilde memorial and the National play day celebrations. Had a peek at the National Gallery, small but filled with masterpieces, as we made our way to the Temple Bar area. Bought some books, really shouldn't be doing that, at the books market. Listened to some music in the area and enjoyed the sun.
At night went to the Merry Ploughboys pub where we had a great night filled with Irish singing and dancing accompanied by good food. They had the crowd singing along and clapping. They were voted the best music pub this year and though it was a touristy thing to do the show and dinner, we enjoyed it. Sat next to a lovely Pakistani origin-Canadian-living in New York- moving to Dublin soon - couple.
