Sunday walk through The Liberties to IMMA, then back along Liffey

Today there’s been a bright blue sky above Dublin, although with slightly chillier temperatures in the 40s F / high single digits C. I have plans to meet up with a new friend, N, for a walk at 12:00 noon. We meet Christ Church, then head to St. Patrick’s Cathedral Park for a coffee, then continue our walk through The Liberties all the way to the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) where we sit and chat for awhile. There are lots of people out, and it’s so warm in the sun I have to take my coat off. After a while we wander back towards the city centre along the north side of the Liffey River. 

A few random photos…

Later on in the late afternoon / early evening I finish my practice CMA exam and relax for the rest of the day. It’s hard to believe it’s already the last day of February!

Until next time….
