We met while touring Europe in 1997. Since then, Pat and Phil came to America twice to visit us, first in 2002 and then again in 2010. In between, the four of us have toured the south of England together in 2008. Then in 2012 we flew to Adelaide and toured southeastern Australia and New Zealand with them. Now once again we come together, this time in Edinburgh, to do Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Spire of Dublin

This 398 foot spire is variously named the Monument of Light, but Patrick said that there are many jokes about this monument because many question its purpose.  There are lights at the top so one joke is that helps those who stumble out of the pub drunk orient themselves for the stagger home.  But, of course, because of it's form it has earn a few nicknames: The Erection at the Intersection and the Stiffy on the Liffey, named for the river that divides Dublin in half.
