Yesterday I ventured out of the house to try to find the sea and explore the town a little. It was bright but very cold. In the afternoon, I met up with some of the others in our group, and we bumbled our way through the DART system (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) in search of the Trad festival which was going on in the Temple Bar area of the city.
We made it there, and followed the music to a clearing which opened on a crowd of people dancing and clapping and listening to
wonderful group that was performing on a small stage. Funnily enough, we ran into a volunteer from Glencree (and ran into her one more time, later) who was also out enjoying the day.
Eventually, we made our way to THE Temple Bar, in which a fantastic trio (accordion, fiddle/voice, and guitar) was playing. The accordionist officially has my heart. Ah. John and Kelly had a pint (or rather, a glass for Kelly) and Britt and I had sips of each, and just soaked in the sounds.
Next time have a beer for me!!
