Jingle Rails

Jingle Rails is a Great Western Adventure in a G-scale model train wonderland containing nine working model trains that wind through a stunning miniature landscape.  The exhibit features miniature versions of local treasures of downtown Indianapolis, including the Eieteljorg Museum, Monument Circle, Union station and Lucas Oil Stadium.  The trains then head through the National Parks of the American West, passing legendary sites including grand railway lodges, Northwest Coast Native villages, and wonders both natural and human-made--Mt. Rushmore, Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, Yosemite Falls, Old Faithful, and much more.

Every year for several years at Christmas time we would go to INDY to visit with Kid and Grand Kids and visit Jingle Rails.  Grandpa being a model railroad fan had the best time of all.

I have to admit I had a grand time as well, in awe of the talent of those who achieved this work of art.

In Dublin's Fair City. . .

Trinity College, Dublin

 Originally Trinity College was established outside the walls of of Dublin in building of the outlawed priory of the Catholic Church.  Though Catholics were admitted from 1793 there were restrictions.

The Library at Trinity College is the largest research library in Ireland.  Housed in the Old Library is The Book of Kells.  Along with the Long Room in the Old Library it is one of the largest tourist attractions in Ireland.  

It truly is amazing and though the Book of Kells itself was not on display, being replaced by a replica, it was still a grand experience.
