Greenwich boat trip and Ireland

We went under many bridges but this one has a song about it falling down so good thing we made it safely.
It was really cold on the boat but the view of everything was amazing and the guide told us a lot of cool information. More pictures on facebook.

The count down for the Olympic start. We went to where the horse races will be.
In two hemispheres at once. We all had to wait in line to get a picture like this.
When we were done with our tour we went to Cafe Sol for margaritas. They were really good.
Sitting in the front seat of the DRL
We are where the driver would be on all of the other trains.
Waiting to get on our first bus to Ireland. It took 16 hours to get to Cork. It included a 4 hour ferry ride.
We found a cool bookshop. My friend from Des Moines found a book that references Des Moines in the first sentence. The store owner told us about it when he asked where we were from. She bought the book and laughed as she read it on the way home.
A sign for Kelly
One of the Catholic churches we saw as we walked around the town.
We figured we had to have one since we were in Ireland.
At the pub as we got our drinks.
We both finished our drinks.
We went out for gelato 
The pub where we ate.
This was a creepy puppet band that was playing in the street.
waiting for our second bus ride to go home.
I colored on the bus to pass the time. I had to find some way to spend the 32 hours we spent going to and from Ireland.
Taking the bus gave us lots of cool views that we would not have gotten if a plane. I just had to pretend I was on a band trip again.
One of the towns we stopped in had this sign. The store was closed cuz it was late but the sign reminded me of Dad.
