At 10:30 we moved to the front lawn where quite a group of people met to celebrate Ulysses. They read or performed passages from the novel or shared their own personal connections to Joyce. It was inspiring to see young and old alike celebrating.

Bloom's Day--Celebrating James Joyce around the world
June 16th Dublin is the setting for James Joyce's masterpiece Ulysses. One reason I am in Ireland is to learn about Joyce and his writing, which is why staying in his childhood home in Bray was such a delight. We woke on June 16th and had Victorian ladies coming to our door for a visit before the morning activities started. Each lady sang a song and shared their background with me. One lady was in a creative writing class with my host Liz and also performs in a show at the various festivals in Ireland.
