Taxi Ride from Glengarriff to Killarney

---

(by Terrie) The County Kerry scenery was gorgeous. Lush greens fields, deciduous trees in autumn splendor, running rivers and sheep painted brightly in lieu of branding. Our taxi driver, Gene O'Sullivan, said he was the personal driver for Maureen 0'Hara who lives in Glengarriff. Gene said he didn't learn to speak English until later in childhood due to Gaelic being the primary language spoken in his home. He spoke some Gaelic to us, it was neat. He told us a few interesting things such as; the druids land was in the South & West of Ireland, in Catholic cemeteries all headstones face east except the priests who faces west. Also, common folks are transported feet first, but the priests are transported head first, the Irish word for Faery is Pooka, the word "Kil" as prefaced in Killarney is Gaelic for cemetery & the word "Bally" means village as in BallyMcCaffrey which is Village of McCaffrey.
