The biggest beer festival in the world, the German Oktoberfest, is starting these days. Every year it starts at the end of September and ends in the month of October.

On this day, which Joyce chose because on June 16, 1904, he had his first date with Nora Barnacle, the later wife and mother of his children, events unfold in Dublin that Leopold Bloom experienced page after page in the novel. We start the day with a swim at Forty Foot Beach and a visit to the James Joyce Tower.
