More, more, more.

welcome to our castle

We don't have computer access all the time so we'll have to play a little catch-up with you...let's see..we left Donegal and arrived in Galway on day Friday. It is very nice, full of young people because it is a college town. we went to a pub or two..met an old Irishman (Michael) who's sister lives in Topeka and a very drunk Irishman (Henry) who told us he was in construction before he "took on the drink" and now he doesn't work. We had an incredible meal at McSwiggan's and listenened to a a small, young band play some unbelievable music. We stayed in the center of town and our hotel room window looked out over a very busy and VERY noisy street. We heard a couple fight at about 3am and it sounded like they were sitting on our bed. No sleep that night. The next day we went to Killarney but on the way we stopped to see the Cliffs of Moher. Just unbelievable. Words cannot describe how beautiful they were.

Cliffs of Moher

Killarney was lovely ( our favorite word that we can't seem to get away from when describing anything we see in Ireland). Up early this morning to see the Ring of Kerry, which isn't a "thing" but a trip around the tip of the southeastern peninsula of Ireland. Again...unbeleivable.

Ring of Kerry - impossible to capture

Each town was so sweet and cute and clean..all the people so, SO nice. We saw mountains and the sea and beaches and valleys and and mist and rain and castles and so much that we were just in awe most of the day. The roads were scary in some parts but Patrick's got that part down by now. Tonite we are staying in a beautiful country B&B outside of Kinsale. We aren't really B&B people...like staying at someone's house that you don't know but they are very sweet and we felt like we had to give it a go..

Glen Country House - feels like home (someone else's)
