This is post #7 of our Dublin-Berlin trip in September 2018. The night of the Berlin Marathon, Sunday, September 16th, we visited the Dome atop the Reichstag, the building that contains the German Bundestag.

This is post #1 of our Dublin-Berlin trip in September 2018. Wednesday, September 12, 2018 We left Los Angeles Tuesday evening, on Aer Lingus, an untested airline. Now having flown them internationally and locally, go for international. They make you pay for water locally (pet peeve of mine). This was taken Wednesday, before we arrived… Continue reading Meeting Dublin
