Subject: RE: Route through Dublin: Easy and Slow?
Hi,

Indeed it was this "Whiteman's Bridge" from the Digital Tradition that I couldn't place. I do sing "King's Bridge" myself, but if you don't know of the name change, then you can search ... hm:

If you look for King's Bridge in the City of Dublin
You can search till your eyeballs are empty and blind
Be you drivin or walkin, you will sure find it troublin
That a bridge by that name there you never will find.


So, indeed:
"It was down by Christ Church"
"All along Thomas Street" (they walk the whole stretch east to west)
THEN/AND "down to the Liffey" (It's not Thomas Street going down to the Liffey)
"Along by King's Bridge" (Does "Along by" fit, English language-wise?)
and "Beyond in the park", meaning Phoenix Park.

That was as close as I could come as well, but I couldn't get them across the water. (-:

Thanks,
