I've Been to Howth

Sunday, March 11, 2007, 6:32 AM

and it's pronounced Howt. The Irish don't say their th's. So instead of saying...I was thinking...you would hear...I was tinkin'. It's one of my all time favorite parts of a brogue.

I want to embed this video but it's been disabled. It's about nine and a half minutes long but I thought it was a good snapshot of the Dublin/Howth area. Howth is north of Dublin and Bill and I were there our second day in Ireland. So here's the link for Ronnie Drew showing Howth and Dart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BVKP6EH4iw
Below are two pictures I took in Howth that evening. Row houses just down the street from Abbey Tavern. This was taken about nine thirty or ten at night in the month of June.

This is one of the marina's in Howth.
