Ireland........sea of green

Recently, we spent two glorious weeks in Ireland.  It truly is the Emerald Isle. 
The countryside is such a beautiful shade of green.
We took a tour with our friends Linda and Larry Bell and saw quite a bit of both coasts of Ireland. 
 
 
The Ring of Kerry, (the Atlantic side of Ireland.)
 
 
 
Valerie, Mike, Linda and Larry.
 
 
One of the many old churches.
 
 
Castle oustide of Donnegal where we spent two nights.
 

 
Our room in the castle.

 
Visit to the Guinness brewery in Dublin where we learned
 how they brew their famous beer.
 
 
It rained a lot while we were in Dublin.
 
 
Old, abandoned church in the highlands.
 
 
St. Pattricks Cathedral in Dublin.

 
There's always a McDonalds!!
 
 
Every meal came with carrots.  I guess they are easy to grow in Ireland.
 
 
We had a wonderful time.  The Irish people were so friendly and their country so beautiful.
Hope you can visit Ireland someday.
Valerie

  1. I just looked at your Ireland pictures. How beautiful. Must have been a luxurious two weeks. I think I could "rough it" in a castle like that. Love the scenery - and the carrots. Thanks for posting.
