We took an interesting guided tour of James Joyce's Dublin run by the James Joyce Cultural Centre, housed in the restored home of dancing teacher Denis Maginni, mentioned several times in Ulysses. On the right, one of several memorial plaques to the author scattered about the city, this one at 7 Eccles Street, the fictional address of Leopold Bloom. On "Bloomsday" (June 16) serious pilgrims retrace the steps of Bloom and Stephen Dedalus around the city, and major stops along the way are mostly marked.
