Lou and I jumped on the DART (the commuter train) today and traveled 10 miles south to the coastal towns of Dun Laoghaire (pronounced Dun Leary) and Dalkey. Dun Laoghaire is a booming and very modern resort town with a really neat historic downtown as well as a beautiful harbor filled with sailboats. The one and only U2 frontman Bono lives here. Dalkey is much smaller and more quaint. We did a lot of walking and relaxed by going out to dinner back in Dublin at Hugo's (not the grocery store) a few blocks from our flat.
Tomorrow we are planning to explore Dublin and begin scoping out neighborhoods to see where we would like to live. Lou starts work on Tuesday and already has to go back to the states (Texas of all places) next week for his client. In the meantime, I will be looking at apartments and interviewing.
For those waiting for us to check in, we will not have mobile phones until next week. The mobile plans here are fairly complex and costly and unfortunately, we were unable to purchase phones until we have a bank account statement.
All the best!
