We thought we would begin with a few additional photos from our Crystal Adventures Private Tour of yesterday.

A couple of photos from inside the Lord Mayor's Residence.
We were asked by Carolyn if the weather that we have experienced is typical of the normal weather patterns of the area we are sailing. While this weather pattern is not typical it does happen on occasion. Thankfully, we have been very pleased with the revised itineraries.
We enjoyed an overnight in Dublin and Crystal Serenity will remain docked here until 10:00 PM this evening.
In keeping with The Beatles we have included another video from one of their last concerts that took place at Shea Stadium located in Flushing, New York in 1965.

Shortly after returning from yesterday's tour of Dublin we had dinner at the Prego Italian Specialty Restaurant. As we had mentioned, we had been invited to Prego by Crystal Society Hostess Isabell Wagner for a Crystal Society Dinner.
We dined with Isabell, On Board Booking Consultant Paula Jean, and friends Ernie and Val from England. From time to time we have mentioned that on our very first time on Crystal Serenity for a back to back cruise in 2005 we met Ernie and Val through mutual friends Allan and Helen. Ernie and Val had been on the 2005 World Cruise and walked us through their experience and and after having Lunch followed by dinner on another occasion with them we decided on that very cruise to book the 2007 World Cruise, and made an open booking for that cruise before we departed Serenity. As they say the rest is history.
May of us tease Ernie that he looks like Sean Connery.
All in all it was a great evening. We won't go through all of the menu items we had. Costa was our Waiter and did take excellent care of us. Dinner was superb and the conversation was non-stop and we were together for over two and one-half hours. Prego was fairly busy while we were there.
We slept very well last evening as we were docked in Dublin.
Keith was up first and enjoyed a nice workout at the Fitness Center. He then went to the Lido Cafe for coffee and to read and to write.
After having breakfast in our room, Anne Marie walked for an hour while Keith attended an indoor cycling class. Keith was the only one who had signed up, but thankfully two other guests showed up. The class was taught by Fitness Director Claire. As she did the other day, on the last song there were three sprints and where we were to spin as fast as we could to determine the winner. The first two she thought it was neck and neck but by the end of the last one she again elected Keith as the energizer bunny. Energizer Bunny ='s Fastest of the bunch. LOL.
We decided not to go into Dublin today. We had been in Dublin only last September and between that visit and yesterday's tour we decided to make a day of it on the ship.
We spoke with fellow guests and crew in the morning and also read and wrote and we also both walked together before lunch on the Promenade Deck. Many of the crew were busy painting.
We dined at the Lido Cafe for lunch as we usually do.
In the afternoon Anne Marie walked for an hour and Keith played Paddle Tennis with three other people so he played the entire time. The weather was just superb for being outside and for playing Paddle Tennis. We even had some sun.
We spent the rest of the afternoon with some fellow guests, reading and writing and also Anne Marie worked on her needlepoint.
This evening we will be back to the Crystal Dining Room for dinner.
