Dublin pictures are up…take a look

I'm a bit behind on my photo and blog documentaries of my latest trips, but I did manage to get the Dublin pictures posted finally. You can find them here:     Album 1 of 3: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=111502&id=603259739&l=9a34a921c0     Album 2 of 2: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=111504&id=603259739&l=40558a671e     I'd love to get your comments on them. (The blog post describing the Dublin trip is just below this one here on songsofgratitude.blogspot.com in case you missed it.)     Also, I've added the pictures from the Hotel de Glace (Ice Hotel) taken on the Weekend in Quebec that was documented in the post here on songsofgratitude.blogspot.com titled "January Happenings" (about 5 posts before this one). The Hotel de Glace pictures are here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=111490&id=603259739&l=0b8e3fa86c
