Dingle Ireland – Day 2 of our 7-day road trip We had just the most amazing night at Foley’s, and with fond farewells, we headed off around the coast road. I think we probably only traveled 500 meters and we came to our first holt. The rugged weather was really blowing, and the seaside was […]

Our visit to Bunratty Castle was on a cold and somewhat windy and rainy day – yes – I guess a normal Winter’s day in the mid-west. As we entered, we had no idea that it was a completely rebuilt and moved village, depicting life from yesteryear. Bunratty Castle is the most complete and […]

Cobh Ireland and the Titanic and Famine history Our lovely hosts drove us to Cobh on the coast of Ireland today. It is a bit of a bleak day. This is the spot where so many had to say farewell to their family members when the famine was on. Thousands, in fact, more than a […]
Kissing the Blarney Stone and visiting the Castle We have flown from Miami, the USA to London, and then onto Ireland.
