Pictures of
From the Heart of Ireland tour of MCLA Alumni
November 2-9, 2000
At our final hotel in Ireland, we had been promised traditional Irish music. But when we got there, the hotel hadn't sceduled anyone. So David, our bus driver, and Dan, Bus 2's driver, got the hotel to find someone to play. They found a gentleman to play the squeeze box. And with the assistance and urging of David and Dan, we had a grand old time.
