Vera drove us to this cute town to get some ice cream. This town is where the Irish go on holiday. It reminded Cory and I of Seaside. We had the best donuts and ice cream. Yum! The sea was reallyЧитать далее
O'Grady's
10 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ 🌧 63 °F
Mom had her first pint here in this cute pub outside of Kilkenny. We taught Vera how to play American Rummy. She taught us how to play Irish Rummy. They sell liquor to go here as well.Читать далее
ПутешественникFun stop. One of my top favorites. I like Guinness, it doesn't taste anything like what it is in the states. May I have another please 😀 In case anyone was curious what I.I.T.Y.W.Y.B.M.A.B means - If I tell you, will you buy me a beer.
Ristorante Rinuccini
10 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ 🌧 61 °F
Dinner here was....good. Cory and I enjoyed ours. Mom's filet didn't really have too much flavor. Vera thought she ordered venison, but actually ordered veal. But the conversations and company moreЧитать далее
ПутешественникHappy Birthday to my Nancy! Great company always makes the meal the best!
ПутешественникThe company made the dinner! Sad to say farwell to Vera. She is amazing.
Butler House
10 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ 🌧 66 °F
This hotel was so awesome. Rooms were individual and so spacious. They used real keys! Which we forgot to leave and I had to put in the post today. The breakfast was top notch!
Путешественник
Just perfect! Oh, did we mention how good the butter is? Oh my!
Kilkenny Shenanigans
11 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
We had a blast in this town. One of the great memories was my desire to find the walled city. We were actually already there! Bwhaha! The video says it all!
I was able to attend my very first bookЧитать далее
ПутешественникYes, we were at the wall, around the wall and back again 😆 Without Sara there would not have been an adventure. Greatest birthday ever!

Kilkenny Castle
11 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
Kilkenny Castle was right behind us. We could see the Castle from mom's room. It was very impressive. There were some old tapestries from over 600 years ago! Beautiful! Highly recommend this castle.Читать далее
ПутешественникThis was one of my favorite days. Everything about it, our room, the town, the castle 🏰 Loved!
Left Bank
11 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
This is a touristy place that is a must! Delish. The bathrooms were 3 stories up. Yikes! The fans were all connected on a pulley system original to the building.
Also, please enjoy mom's recreationЧитать далее
ПутешественникYummy food, vintage environment was very cool. I love the re-purposed bank building. Tried to be a beauty queen remake😆😎
Rock of Cashel
12 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
Wow! So impressive. It took 600 years to build this. And that was just the first part! The Graveyard was so spiritual. Very, very old Graves, but also some as new as 2009.
Paul, our driver, told usЧитать далее
Путешественник
Looking back on these pictures I am still awe struck on how they created such beautiful things from stone. The graveyard was very moving. Great stop for sure!
Titanic Experience
12 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F
We set sail on the Titanic! When you check in, you get a ticket with a name of one of the 123 people who boarded the Titanic from Cobh (pronounced "cove"). Mom and Cory were married. Lol. And 2 of theЧитать далее
ПутешественникThere was a family that decided to disembark in Cobh to visit family. This is there stuff. Lucky choice!
ПутешественникNo such thing as coincidence. That's just weird to me. This was a bit touristy but enjoyable.
Bayswater
12 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
This airbnb was such a great find. The views were spectacular. We saw a deer. Watched the tide go in and out. The townhouse was 2 stories. Mom's room had an ensuite. Ours had 2 twins. There were 2Читать далее
ПутешественникReally cute stay despite the hard beds. Location was beautiful.
Travel day between Kilkenny and Kenmare
12 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
We all hurt bad this morning. Too many drinks while celebrating Mom. Totally worth it!
Our driver, Paul, picked us up at 10am. He took us to Rock of Cashel, Titanic Experience and St. Coleman'sЧитать далее
ПутешественникSaugus roll - yummy! Petrol station sandwich - satisfyingly delicious. Tidy Town was cute. Happy Birthday Paul!
Falconry Kerry
13 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
Omg! Such an AMAZING experience! Patrick showed us Jessi, a hawk, Cookie, an owl of some sort, and Rusty another owl (a 5 month old barn owl), oh and a baby owl which was called Damien because heЧитать далее
ПутешественникIncredible! Love the pic of Nancy with the owl on her arm in the forefront 💜 An experience of a lifetime!
ПутешественникAbsolutely the best experience. These birds are majestic. Being this close to one made me cry a bit. Some may feel they are captive. I feel these birds love thier owner and trainer. Very spoiled with the chicken treats. The baby bird was so funny. His squawk was very high pitched. It reminded me of a gremlin. I would do this again as well!
Ross Castle
13 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
This was a cool tower house. It's actually a peninsula. The only thing keeping this from being a true island is the stone bridge which is the only way to get to the house by land.
So much history! WeЧитать далее
ПутешественникVery cool tower house. Interesting tactics for lookout house. Nice walk around. Much better than a ride on the horse buggy. They looked sad and overworked.
Muckross Abbey
13 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
This was where the first Franciscan friars lived until King Henry VIII had them persecuted. It's still an active graveyard, with some so old that there are no markings, simply rocks, and some asЧитать далее
ПутешественникYes, definitely spiritual here. I'm sure i felt a warm hand on my shoulder while in part of the Muckross alone. Beautiful grounds.
Muckross Working Farm
13 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
I forgot to post this stop. When we visited Muckross House, we went over to the replica of the old working farms. The beginning of the walk was up a pretty steep hill. Once we made it to the firstЧитать далее
ПутешественникLove all the animal, especially the duck. He was really talking to you.
ПутешественникThese were great replicas of the old farms. Everyone lived to their means for sure. Very small living spaces. Boy, the smoke from fireplace was intense. I apologized for stepping out. The lady said she was use to it and her mother died of black lung 🤔😬 Glad we made the hike. Not sure how we missed the loop, we hadn't even had a beer.
Muckross House
13 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
This was cool, but Mom and I were feeling a bit manor-housed-out. So we quickly made our way to the servant areas. The bells used to call the servants each had a specific tone to identify who wasЧитать далее
ПутешественникBeautiful grounds, castle and garden. Still amazes me how so many poor people to care of the rich. I couldn't imagine being the one to run up and down those stairs everything one of the elite rang a bell. Probably for something they could have done on their own. Shame shame Sara for feeding that cute birdie 🧐😃 There was a man very irritated at her. We laughed it of as it was obvious the bird knew exactly what to do to be fed. No harm No fowl (foul 😆)
Ring of Kerry
13 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
This drive should only be done by a local. It was heart stopping passing the many tour busses. Yikes!
Denise, our driver, managed very well.
This area was created by a giant glacier at the end of theЧитать далее
ПутешественникBeautiful views! Sending healing and healthy wishes to Cory!!
ПутешественникGreat day! Beautiful views. Can we talk about the BIG tour busses on these very skinny roads 😬😲 Yikes! Fun experience.
Kenmare Stone Circle
14 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ 🌧 61 °F
Cute little stone circle. We tried to touch each and go through time like in Outlander....but here we are.
We were given note cards to write wishes on and tie to the Hawthorne trees.
We triedЧитать далее
ПутешественникI was hoping for Jamie Fraser or Rodgers Wakefield to come out, but sadly no.
Kenmare
14 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
Gosh! This town has my heart. So small, yet big. We talked to many fun people here.
We ate at P.F. McCarthy for dinner. Delicious food! Cory had ribs, mom and I shared the potato cakes, and I hadЧитать далее
ПутешественникI loved everything about Kenmare. Very cute town, fun pubs, great music. The potato balls in gravy were delicious 😋 No wonder I didn't loose any weight with all our walking.
Kenmare 2
14 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F
Second post. Today was rainy to start. It was our rest day, so we slept in, ate some breakfast, I got some work done and Cory took a quick nap. Then we got ready and walked back into town. The weatherЧитать далее
ПутешественникI loved every part of our stay in Kenmare. Definitely want to go back!
Kerry Creamery Experience
15 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ 🌧 57 °F
It was a windy and rainy day here in Ireland. Our driver, Gerrit, drove us from Kenmare to Dingle. This creamery was one of our stops.
We were walked around the old creamery, the original building,Читать далее
ПутешественникThose goats, so adorable. The dairy farmers worked so very hard. A lot of politics went in to play when the industry decided it would be a good idea to pool all of the counties dairy farmers in to one location for distribution into town. They weighed and inspected each big container of milk brought in. If you were not on the right side of politics, they would make a big scene that your milk was dirty and no good. Dump it out on the ground and make you drive your empty wagon around all the other farmers in shame. Very sad.
Connors Pass
15 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ 🌬 57 °F
We were early to our next airbnb, so Gerrit took us to Connors Pass, one of the highest passes in Ireland at around 1,400 feet.
It was so very windy! And the weather and visibility changed quickerЧитать далее
ПутешественникBeautiful and freezing cold! Of course Sarbear had to go further up the hill while Cory and I headed back to the van 😃
Travel day photos from Kenmare to Dingle
15 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ 🌬 59 °F
Our driver, Gerrit, was a Dutch man who has lived in Sneem, a small village on the Ring of Kerry, since 2002. He was able to offer different views on the Irish ways of life. As my mom said, Gerrit isЧитать далее
Dingle Day 1
15 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ 🌬 59 °F
We walked all around this tiny, adorable town, managing 11,761 from 2pm to 10pm.
After eating a not too great lunch, we stopped in many shops, went to the harbor, went to the grocery store (where weЧитать далее
You need that larger glass! I’d stick it in my purse if I were there….. just saying! LOL [Lynne]
ПутешественникHa! It was a cool one. I wish I had the space to buy a pint glass from each pub! Also, no purse for me. Just a belt bag so Cory can elax and know that I haven't left it behind....I have priors on my record!
ПутешественникFun day! All the pubs were fun. So cold we had to have a pint or 2. That pizza made out of that van was possibly the best pizza ever! Then, while listening to the music the pizza guy came and joined the band! I just love the community networks here in Ireland.
ПутешественникBurrr!
Путешественник
Yum
ПутешественникYes, this was as good as it looks! Fresh made deliciousness 😋 I was super proud of Sara crouching to get into the kids donut face for a picture 📷 😄
