Sometimes, you gotta love the power of social media. I posted a blog entry from Belfast, Northern Ireland, while waiting for my cruise to launch. My dear friend Pam, who lives in North Dakota (so I don’t get to see her very often!) was on her way to Dublin, Ireland when she saw my post and reached out. We were able to quickly arrange a meetup in Dublin.
Pam and her travel companion Connie suggested a visit to the Old Library at Trinity College Dublin, something that wasn’t even on my radar. All three of us are book-lovers, and Connie was a librarian, so I didn’t hesitate to join them. We were rewarded with some stunningly beautiful exhibits.
Pages from the Book of Kells, a 1,200 years-old manuscript that was the focus of this exhibit.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
Wow, your photos surpass any that I’ve seen before! What an excellent serendipity, Basia! With a librarian, no less 😍😍😍
I know! It must be the luck of the Irish rubbing off on me.
For something like this, I might reconsider my self-imposed ban on travel to Europe. It all looks spectacular!
Looking forward to the lifting of that ban!
I love it!!!!!!!
Wow, what a treat. I’d love to see that place.
Highly recommended.
I love it when the universe gives us a nudge.
Yes, this little nudge was definitely much appreciated.
