Day before the march

It is the day before the 90th anniversary of the Easter Uprising. We are staying in Dublin to see it... they think over one hundred thousand people will be there. Reports say that there could be trouble, no doubt if there is - Rick and I will be in the thick of it! Finally able to put some photos on, but sorry about the size of them, I will adjust when able to do so!

The Easter Uprising seems farily significant. It represents the most successful uprising against British rule in the south of Ireland. 1916 became the year the Irish Republic was formed. Signifiacantly, 5 weeks ago, another march occured through the centre of Dublin. This one was a little more troublesum, the orange brigade...Orangemen antagonised a few locals and a bit of rough and tumble occured. "arhhh well, it'l be a funny wee day"

Here is Rick taking his own life into his hands to rescue a little snow goose that has lost a leg and is having difficulty swimming in the chanel. What a good man! I salute you! (Marty in Dublin Castle).
