Throughout the entire island of Ireland there are thousands of lakes and rivers that are natural wonders. Ireland's ancient past makes it an archaeological paradise, with many sites dating back thousands of years. No matter where you travel in Ireland, it can be a fantastic exploration, with unsurpassed hospitality. The scenery is ever-changing and literally unfolds before your eyes. All over Ireland you can enjoy the outdoors from fishing to golf, horse riding to water sports.

Ireland allows one to experience a culture deeply steeped in history. This is reflected in the warm hospitality, Irish food and drink, brilliant Irish folk music, and beautiful landscape. Whether enjoying a morning breakfast at a guest house in Dublin, downing a pint in a pub in Belfast, experiencing the local artists of Cork, or hiking along a seaside cliff on the Dingle Peninsula, it is hard not to feel like part of the dramatic culture of the country's people and the rich history that is Ireland.

Developing an understanding of this history and culture allows for a deeper appreciation of the ancient monuments found there today, as well as, reasons for the heartache of contemporary disputes. The story of Ireland is an ancient tale, older than the pyramids of Egypt, and full of more turmoil, upheaval, and romance than any daytime drama.

     Today was a sad day because it was our last day of vacation. It had been a little over 3 weeks of heaven and the impending doom of getting back to real world started to set in. Despite our feelings of sadness we finished our last day with more beautiful sights.      First stop was Powerscourt House and Gardens. Powerscourt is touted as the finest garden in Europe and it doesn't disappoint. The garden was started in the 1730's by the first Viscount...

Touching Down in Shannon

Catherine, Leigh Ann, and I had an uneventful flight from Birmingham, Alabama, to Shannon Airport on the Emerald Isle.  There wasn't an empty seat and it was impossible to catch a wink of sleep because of our excitement!  I had booked a driver that was to meet us at the airport and I didn't have a clue what he looked like ~ so there was a little bit of anxiety on my part.  What if he was a no-show?? All my worries were put to rest after we claimed our luggage and walked toward...

On Ground again, started walking to the Rock Close to marvel again on the unrivalled beauty of  Mother Nature.   I did not get disappointed, the light rain shower, made the whole forest more vibrant green. I spotted the megalithic structure, dolmen first, a little bit further  I  bump into  the secluded passageway, descended by a steep flight of stone steps, called the Witch’s stairs. Walk backward downs with eyes closed – and without stopping for one moment t...

So yesterday I walked to the Cliffs from Doolin along the coast (recommended by the hostel caretakers versus taking a bus).  I believe I was trespassing the whole time as my walk included jumping over barricades, rivers, stone fences, past cows and other grazing animals with a curious glare, and eventually walking on the edge of the cliffs to the central tourist overlook.  Imagine the stares I got!  It was so wonderful though.  The views were fantastic! And the peace and q...
