I am leaving for Ireland tonight, first to attend this Anthropology conference in Maynooth–a seemingly sleepy college town– and then on the 28th I head to Dublin to hang with a very good friend of mine. I plan on doing some travel and sightseeing in and around Dublin, so if anyone has any suggestions about what they love, love, love about Dublin (and anywhere within a few hours of Dublin), they are welcome. Dato is going to help me gather some Debian folks for an evening out as well, so I look forward to seeing anyone in town!
In Dublin, the book of Kells: http://www.tcd.ie/about/trinity/bookofkells/
“Within a few hours of Dublin” covers pretty much all of Ireland.
North of Dublin is Newgrange, a neolithic passage tomb: http://www.newgrange.com/
Closer to the south, in the Wicklow mountains is Powerscourt house and gardens: http://www.powerscourt.ie/

I would love for their to be a scan of the book of kells like what is done for some other famous texts like the guttenberg bible and put under a free license.
