Being in Ireland just as the US economy crashes and burns is interesting. Our cab driver on the way from the airport to downtown Dublin launched into an anti-Bush tirade. Clearly, Americans are now out of favor worldwide.
Our money is almost worthless. A pint of Guinness costs about $10. Same thing for a bowl of Irish stew. I remember when we were in Mexico years ago and it seemed like the pesos were a form of Monopoly money. Now dollar bills feel like pesos.
The photo above is of the garden behind Dublin Castle. We spent a tranquil half-hour sitting there, taking in the atmosphere.

Wonderful photo.
Yes we all have play money. I don't even have any of that... Guess that's why when it [the money] was redesigned it looks unlike anything of value.
A reflection of our culture.
Maybe it's good for us to have these moments to reflect on the real value of things.
Glad you can be there...a few years from now, it may not be possible!
