I've enjoyed reading them all.<BR/><BR/>To answer a few questions that were asked...and I love questions, so don't be shy about asking...<BR/><BR/>We weren't on a tour when we visited, we just had our handy DK tour guide book with us ( I gave a link to it in my prior St. Valentine post) and I purchased a pamphlet about the church in the gift shop to read more about it later. We spent about an hour in the cathedral, and could have easily spent more time as there was so much to see! I wanted to take a photo of Swift's grave site in the floor of the cathedral, but the brass plate over it was being meticulously polished by a woman and she took so long I had to leave before she was done!<BR/><BR/>When I write these posts I try to research as much as I can from different sources, mainly the web, and tour books or books I buy at the location, and then I paraphrase what I've learned when I write my posts. If I am quoting directly I give the source and put quotation marks around it.<BR/><BR/>One of the reasons I love blogging is that it has encouraged me to learn more about the places I visit and gives me the opportunity to share what I learn with others, and hopefully I'll remember more this way and if not I will have this blog to refer back to :-) <BR/><BR/>I've learned so much from all of your blogs, which I really appreciate! <BR/><BR/>Thanks!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-23769092805479507402008-08-18T11:28:00.000-04:002008-08-18T11:28:00.000-04:00And a beautiful cathedral it is!

And I really enjoyed your posting on St Valentines, one of my favorite saints. You have shown us so many beautiful places in Ireland and taught us such interesting things about so many different aspects of the country. Thank you for all your hard work putting this information together and trying to teach us about a world far away from us. <BR/>When I get that big windfall of $$ LOL Ireland will be on my list. If no windfall Wes & I will just have to stow-away on your next trip there!! We'd have a grand time!<BR/>Big Hugs, SherryEdie Marie's Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497518764917499463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-71932949293433039122008-08-17T16:18:00.000-04:002008-08-17T16:18:00.000-04:00Amazingly beautiful post and the music is lovely t...Amazingly beautiful post and the music is lovely too!

I will reread this post, as I know there was so much great info. I surely must've missed some things. <BR/><BR/>How long were you in the Catherdral? Were you with a guided tour? Did you prepare (read up) for your visit to places in Ireland before you actually arrived? <BR/><BR/>I think I could use a Door of Reconciliation in my home at times! Of course, I would really be taking a chance of losing a limb around here :-)<BR/><BR/>What a lovely tour---what terrific information.
