Pearse Museum

Today was spent exploring the Pearse Muesum set in a beautiful park on the outskirts of Dublin. It was the home of Patrick Pearse an innovative educator. He opened a boys boarding school on these premises. He focused on teaching Irish culture and the Irish language - Gaelic. He was an active leader in the Irish Rebellion and he and his brother were executed for their role in the 1916 Easter Uprising. Exceptionally well laid out and very informative. Inspired by Biddy, Katie and I then went to the Happy Pear in Greystones in search of the owners- twins who are big propents of sunrise swims in the cove. Sadly, they weren't in but the waitron seemed impressed that we had visited. Coffee was good!!. In the local park children are encouraged to read by following numbered boards and arrows. Keen cold water swimmers have a choice of coffee, gelato or a sauna ( or all 3 after a swim).Weiterlesen
