    Guy looks very modern. Always amazed about the sewer pipes on the outside. Strictly forbidden by regulations here in the Netherlands.

    A beautiful portrait of Yeats, a few years ago I visited his grave.

    How cool. We have just finished watching Michael Portillo's Train Journey to Sligo (BBC2, last Thursday). Plenty of mention of Yeats.

    I learned "An Irish Airman Forsees his Death" when I was at school. I can still quote most of it.

    So glad your surgery was successful, Bill!
    That's a great poster of Yeats - love his poem 'The Isle of Innisfree'.

    That's quite a mural/poster. Congrats on a successful operation. That surgery certainly made a difference in my life.

    "Great Southern" rings a bell. I think there are are a few of them in Ireland? Nice portrait of Yeats.

    Good ol' Yeats: "There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't yet met."

    Nice. And I note that the hotel is a Great Southern. In the 1970s we went to Ireland three times, and stayed in some Great Southern hotels then. (Most of the time we stayed in B&Bs.) The Great Southern hotels were pretty fancy and were our splurges.

    ...it's interesting that some of the plumbing appears to be on the outside of the build.

    I read Yates in high school and was spellbound. His house is near Balls Bridge Road in Dublin, not far from Crowe's Pub.
