Wednesday, August 17 -- Bill woke up today feeling miserable with a terrible cough. We called for a
doctor. The doctor actually came to the hotel room, said that Bill had bronchitis and had to spend the
day in bed to rest and recover. We missed the tour of Dublin scheduled for today. I went and got Bill's
prescriptions, did our laundry, went shopping, wandered around Dun Laoghaire and took these photos.

This is our hotel, the Royal Marine. We had one of the rooms
with a balcony, seen on the right, with a gorgeous view of the bay.
