Are We In Listowel?

We left Dingle heading to Bunratty and drove the stunning Connor Pass. It was another of those winding narrow roads with sheer drops a few feet from the car. We didn't get to see those views, though, as we were driving through thick fog. It was not a fun drive, but Randy did a great job. Once we were back on level ground, the fog lifted, and the sun even came out. We'd noticed on the map that there was a town called Listowel, so we decided to stop on the way to our destination, Bunratty. Randy grew up in the Listowell Ontario area, so we couldn't resist. It was a pretty town with lots to see. It was the first day of Race Week and the Harvest Festival, so there was so much going on. We saw the race track, the Writers Museum, and the castle. I wish we had more time here. We went on to Bunratty Castle and Folkpark for their Harvest Festival, and the rain held off long enough for us to visit. Randy had caught a bug and wasn't feeling good, so he was happy to check into our hotel. He did a great job today on a challenging drive, even feeling bad.Leggi altro
