What an experience, to have a Harris's Hawk land on your gloved hand! Or even better, to swoop immediately over your head to capture a bit of quail meat offered by a falconer! We met John of Killarney Falconry at a designated spot along the roadside near Coolcorcoran...
As we were northbound on R519 just south of Ballingarry, Co. Limerick, we spotted an ice cream cone sign and quickly wheeled in to the car park, piled out, and trooped into Snow's Country Store where our choice was a plain ice cream cone or a Flake 99. The poor...
Heading south from Ennistimon we chose to avoid the motorway and found ourselves stopping to visit the village of Quin, we stopped at the little park and tossed some coins into the fountain to assure our return, admired the Tidy Town awards, and walked to and around...
The few bites we took of light breakfast with our coffee/tea this morning was not meant to hold us long. On our way south into Ennistimon we consulted Yelp! for an eatery offering Black Pudding. Black and White Puddings as well as Irish Bacon are components of a...
After our departure from The Cliffs of Moher we stopped at a pub in Doolin that promised good food, drink, and music but the place was already filled to capacity. So we wandered in the rain to a nearby pizza place and ordered a meal to go which we took back to Tigh...
This afternoon at 1:15PM MDT Megan and Arden are saying their wedding vows in a simple civil ceremony in Santa Fe NM. Although every one of us would dearly love to be at that event, we're at the Cliffs of Mother looking west across the Atlantic at 8:15 Irish Standard...
Last night Patti made a request of The Universe. She asked for a complete rainbow. This evening shortly after we walked up to the Cliffs of Moher, we experienced a light rain shower and when we looked east, believe it or not, we saw a complete rainbow! In this...
Our plans for this evening necessitate our finding a bottle of bubbly. On our way from Ballycurrin we stopped at Joyce's in Headford but since it wasn't yet half ten (10:30 AM) we were too early to buy off-licence. So as we left Athlone we began looking for a place to...
It's a once in a lifetime treat to walk into the oldest drinking establishment in Ireland for the first time! That's what we did here in Athlone on the banks of the River Shannon in the heart of the country. Sean's Bar is certified by the Guinness Book of World...
It's our fourth day in Ireland and our first drive on one of the Motorway highways, designated by the prefix M. We've traveled national (N) and regional (R) highways as well as local (L) roads. It's a cooperative effort. Alice is our driver and is getting more...
