#9 Clontarf Road

June 28, 2009

This is number 9, Clontarf Road. Just under the stairs is the door to our first home, affectionately referred to as the Hobbit House. The lowest window is our living room window. The blue door leads to the orthodontist practice that lives above us. The trash bins are no longer there, which makes our view much nicer. Across the street and just to the left, we look out on Dublin Harbour. There are walking and biking paths that run along the coast for miles to the north, and south on our road takes you directly to the City Centre. Straight across the road is the the Clontarf Road DART station, which is what the train service is called. Our gym, called Westwood Clontarf, is just across the street to the right toward the City Centre. Michael found our apartment in the week before I moved to Dublin and it is a lovely first home for us. We are slowly decorating and making it feel like home.
