This cathedral is Dublin's oldest building it is the mother church of the dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough in the Church of Ireland. People have been coming to this church of almost one thousand years. The earliest manuscript dates Christ Church Cathedral at this location around 1030. It is famous for its Norman crypt and for the arcading of the nave which is considered to be the finest example of Early English Gothic Romanesque Architecture in the country. An Arcade is a range of arches that are carried on piers or columns and attached to a wall. The Nave is the western limb of a church, or the part west of the crossing and it usually is the middle vessel of the western limb.

We wandered up to this spectacular building at sunset and the light playing off this historic building was magnificent.

On Traveling

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.  ~ Mark Twain

Welcome

This blog will be where I show off our travels and perhaps dream a little too.
