More Dublin and our return home, Sept 16th, 17th & 18th.
I am finishing this blog from home, since we were busy and internet access was slow at the Air BnB. Sept 16th: Peg and I are not city people, we appreciate them but prefer more open, less populated areas. That said we enjoyed a day visiting Dublin proper, using the same bus tour we used…

Day 9 – Sept 12th.

Good Day
I finished updating the Narrow Boat Photo Gallery with the interior shots and the Montezuma stop after returning the boat. I also added a photo gallery of Pegs pictures of the trip. Hope you enjoy. God bless

Pictures are now up for viewing.
I have completed putting my shots into the photo gallery so please check it out. Peg has some photos I need to get off her IPhone and I hope to do that shortly. Her shots include the interior of the boat so please keep an eye out for those.

Day 9 it comes to an end
We woke early to get the boat home by 9 AM. Sunrise was beautiful, and the water was glass. After returning the boat we went to Montezuma Refuge and did some bird watching (and plant ID of course). I finally got time to process photos so they will be posted very soon. My future posts…
