Finally covid restrictions have eased. I'm taking six weeks to bop around Europe in May and June 2022. Past -I have a year to travel starting this summer of 2008. I will start in the United Kingdom, then cross to Ireland. Then I plan to go to Poland and Ukraine. Depending upon the political climate, I may venture into Turkey. In preparation, I have spent many hours reading other peoples' blogs. I wonder how my adventure will unfold? http://www.worldmapmaker.com/create-map.php ... full info

Church and Pub

We were told that the pub culture is waning due to the current recession and the modern laws about drunk driving.

Sport Culture

Irish football seems to be a mixture of soccer, rugby and basketball, with no tackling.

Irish football

The game is hard and fast.

Kerry fans

Kerry fans in green assembled at pub across street from our hotel

Fans2

Not a red-shirted Tyrone fan was to be seen at this pub

Tension

By halftime, Kerry was up by only one, 7-6. At the end of the game, Tyrone won. Yahoo! They were the underdogs.

Ready for big game

When we had lunch, the pub was empty. It filled up by three, so fans could watch the game.

St Stevens Green

Nice park at end of Grafton street

Famine

The statue was called famine.

Shopping

Patiently waiting for shopper to come back.

Ireland
Ah, yes the Clarence. We spent an afternoon in there. I love your comments and am so glad you had a great time in Ireland. I could live there I loved it so much. We'll have lots to chat about when you settle in back home, although it's a long time a way. Where are you off to now??
