I had a wonderful time touring the west coast of Ireland the last two weeks with my travel pals. Each year my girl friends and I do a "all girls" trip. As you may see from the photos, it rained so much I had to seek refuge in a roadside pub. I was almost ready to take a job as bar maid but I didn't think my husband would appreciate a long distance relationship. Ha! From the Ring of Kerry to Donegal Town, we ate, drank, and shopped till we dropped. Great people and an interesting history and culture. I give Ireland a two thumbs up!
