Howth<\/h1>\n

Howth\u00a0is a village and outer\u00a0suburb\u00a0of\u00a0Dublin,\u00a0Ireland. The district occupies the greater part of the peninsula of\u00a0Howth Head, forming the northern boundary of\u00a0Dublin Bay. Originally just a small\u00a0fishing village, Howth with its surrounding once-rural district is now a busy suburb of Dublin, with a mix of dense residential development, quarries and wild hillside. The only neighboring district on land is\u00a0Sutton. Howth is also home to one of the oldest occupied buildings in Ireland,\u00a0Howth Castle. It has been the site of filming for many films.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Howth was the last stop on our whirl-wind, all the way around the emerald isle, Ireland vacation.\u00a0 We didn’t get to explore the area much as we had just checked into our B&B and were in search of dinner.\u00a0 We were not disappointing with our choice to dine here.\u00a0 Crabby Jo’s seemed like a fitting establishment to find seafood.\u00a0 The lobster and chips were divine.<\/p>\n

After a delicious dinner we did have an opportunity to walk around the wharf.\u00a0 It was quite chilly that evening and the wind was coming off the water 25 mph sustained with gusts a wee be more fierce.\u00a0 That was no deterrent for us Minnesotans.\u00a0 There was so much to look at and take in.\u00a0 The colors and textures of the nets, rigging and boats were quite captivating.\u00a0 We were delighted to see a seal in the harbor loitering about with not a care in the world.\u00a0 Feeding the seals is not allowed for fear they will become dependent on humans for food.\u00a0 Here are some photos from our walk around the wharf.<\/p>\n
