In July and August of 2000, my parents and I visited my mom's family in Donegal, Ireland. We decided to take in the rest of the country while we were at it, as well as visit Scotland, my dad's ancestral home.

Listowel

Listowel was a cute little town where I was introduced to Guinness for the first time.  I fell in love and haven't looked back since. =)  The most memorable part of Listowel for me?  Being chatted up for the first time by some random guy.  That night, we stayed in an inn where there was a performance by Liam O'Connell, a local performer.  My dad and I went to the performance, bought one of his tapes, and after a little talking, Liam asked me to hang out with him and the band later that evening...until he found out I was only 14.  Always fun.
