Ireland: A Recap
Here are the highlights of this trip.
My first Guinness came the first night we arrived at our hotel in Kilkenny.
My first castle - Kilkenny Castle.
Waterford is not only popular for glassware, but also the country's oldest city founded by the Vikings.
The husband got to kiss the Blarney Stone. I didn't. I already talk too much.
Bunratty Castle and Heritage Park is an interesting spot.
The Cliffs of Moher are definitely a must-see.
In Galway, we got to chill in a pub and listen to traditional Irish music.
Learning about whiskey on a distillery tour in Kilbeggan.
Walking the streets of Dublin provides the visitor with many little surprises in every corner.
The Guinness Storehouse experience is a must do of course.
The full Irish breakfast is heavy and filling but will supply you with enough energy to power your day of sightseeing. It was too heavy and full that we only ate it once.
This plain looking meal is one of my favorites here - it's a seafood chowder. It's really really good.
The churches are imposing and beautiful.
While one week is definitely short and not enough, I consider myself extremely blessed and lucky to see the place that I've been dreaming of since childhood. Hope I get lucky some more to make a return visit.
Thank you for hanging with me through the Ireland posts.
