One of the most interesting parts

of our trip to England/Ireland/Scotland was 'Dublinia', a museum in Dublin, that showed the Viking influence in that area. I had never realized that the Norse, or Vikings, had raided, conquered and then settled that part of the world, as part of their exploration and pillaging of the entire known world. London currently has a hugely popular exhibit of Viking history and influence in the UK.

Very interesting, I think, (maybe it's my Norse blood). Also, 'Vikings' is a great show on the History Channel that is very well done and seems pretty realistic.
