We love Ireland . . .

Jack and I have been so

fortunate to have traveled to Ireland.

On our first trip we met three delightful gals

who at one time came to the United States

 with an Irish choir and stayed 

with friends of ours during their tour. 

It is through these Michigan friends

we were able to connect with

Ursula, Marie and Lyla in Dublin 

and be showered with their hospitalitiy. 

They were our "first teachers" of the beatiful land of Ireland. 

We have visited the Dublin metro, Trinity College,  

Guiness Brewry, went to a play, concert,

 toured the country side and have also been to

Newgrange and Powerscourt.

to name just a few places

on one of our trips

Sheepshead West of Bantry

Jack and I are in the talking and planning stage of our fourth trip.

Hopefully it will take us north to Belfast,

  Giants Causeway and along the NW coast line.

On our previous trips we have visited many places South from Dublin/Shannon.

Renting a car and venturing out on our own is delightful. 

 The people are warm and engaging.

Can you tell, we totally love it there!

Sorry about the photo clarity and the dates in the corner.

Happy I learned to omit them!!
