''...the green and troubled land of
tourist brochures and news headlines.''

Quote from: Ireland, A Novel by Frank Delaney

Warmed and cooled by the North Atlantic stream and location respectively, Ireland is never extremely cold or extremely hot.

This celtic isle is stoney grey, rugged mountains, cliffs and dewy greenness. Windswept and misty, you will likely need an umbrella anytime.

From the ring of Kerry to the tatched cottages of Conamera to the Giants Causeway, may the road rise to meet you and may your hassles be small ones.

Ireland has folklore, lively music, dance and haunting ballads. Kiss the Blarney stone and join the locals in one of the pubs which outnumber just about everything for a pint of black and tan, or ten. Then rise up yer skirts and kick up yer heals for a bit of mighty craic with fiddles, harps, jigs and reels.

We're off to the Terrible Beauty! Europe » Ireland

Hi guys! Just had to drop a quick blog since we are off to Ireland finally. I've been reading all the other blogs and getting really excited, learned about some great "must see and do" tips too, so I hope Ireland turns out to be as special for us as it has been for others. I finally figured out how to check my comments and was really happy to hear that others like my map idea! The only additional thing I would add about that is be sure you have one color saved for the "absolute must see above all else [View Full Entry]

The Wedding Day! Europe » Ireland » County Cork » Cork

In the Church

What can we say? Had such a fab day! We felt so special the whole day and so happy that everyone had made such an effort for us. It was a great feeling to know we weren't exaggerating when we told people we were having a fantastic day and brilliant that it wasn't an anti-climax after all the planning. Stand out moments: －Walking up the aisle / seeing Rach walk up the aisle；－The music in the church；－The ushers wandering around like lost puppies in the church service；－Hearing everyone cheer as we walked down the aisle!； ᦁ [View Full Entry]

Medic Morri

Last night we stayed outside of Cahir in an apple orchard...no joke! The campground is a family run establishment that also runs a cider press and apple farm. We pulled in and thought it was awfully quiet, it was closed. October 1st is the closing for many campgrounds in Ireland so we are adjusting plans accordingly. They luckily let us stay for the night and even gave us a free bottle of cider. It was really good, but gave us bad gas so the camper has some funk and we had to drive with all the windows open this morning. We [View Full Entry]

Cahir and caves Europe » Ireland » County Tipperary

Since our last posting we travelled along the southern coast spending a night along the road in Clonakilty. That evening we spent a night on the town. We found a great pub that had live music and great company. We made some friends with some Brits.....I was convinced one was Billy Idol :-) The music reminded us of home. Lots of folk/country sound, it was like being at Boundary Bay. The bartender wrote us a list of attractions and places to go before we left county cork/waterford. Therefore, the next day we drove to Kinsale, a small harbour town, and saw [View Full Entry]

You will love it. Europe » Ireland » County Galway » Galway

I have been to the University of Ireland, Galway and walked around the campus. It is very nice and all of the kids look nice but talk funny. It is a bit bigger than I expected but much smaller than A&M. The kids dress like American college kids with Jeans and A&F T shirts. No flipflops because too cold. The campus looks less diverse than A&M. You will also love the heart of town which is about 20 blocks from campus and looks like a little Irish town but has tons of cute little shops, pubs and restaurants. I had a [View Full Entry]

Biir, Ireland - last part Europe » Ireland

A great day at Clonmacnoise

Ok, Finally a bit more blog. I wrote it between madrid and Granada but couldn't put it on as I didn't have access with the laptop. Ken has sorted lots more photos so I'll put them in too.... Seems ages since I’ve written anything. Has been a really busy time in Spain. We’re now on a train from Madrid to Granada. The train is great. Lucy has an entire collection of Littlest pet Shop animals having a party next to me, Ken is reading the e-book and Sarah and Kate are reading. Far easier than driving - although Ken had been [View Full Entry]

Northern Ireland Europe » Ireland

Giant's Causeway 13

Northern Ireland Northern Ireland was a bit different. No more dolls houses (odd, large rectangular houses, very symmetrical that look exactly like a dolls house on a piece of flat land - everywhere in the area of Ireland we drove in). Stopped by armed Police at the entry (via a back route) to Omagh and had to show Ken’s passport. The Police stations in all the towns we saw were large and well protected (fences, barbed wire etc). Great little B&B. Visited the Ulster Folk Park (really good with people in each little house telling about life “in the olden days”. [View Full Entry]
