Mike’s retirement in 2022 prompted us to visit another “life list” country and Ireland and her people deliver on their reputation as lovely, welcoming and hearty in all ways. We landed at Shannon and our driver, at 11AM, is recommending the best places near our hotel for a pint. So fun, so hospitable.
Shannon river view from our roomLaughing at ourselves after getting DRENCHED in the (frequent) rain Flowers everywhere, even the cracks in the walls Seems to be the prevailing sentiment Seems the Camino is in Ireland alsoFoxglove Cliffs of Moher Castle ruins everywhere Trans Atlantic flight Abby at Kylemore
The journey continues through small towns around the periphery of this beautiful country. We’ve enjoyed the hiking and the people. So lovely.
