Janet and Erin’s visit!
We got to enjoy a few days with Aunt Janet and Erin in April. Short, sweet and loads of fun. It was especially nice since it was so close to Erin’s wedding day.
We toured Dublin a bit, shared some pints and vitals, drove to Galway, and county Clare where we explored the the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and more, heard trad music, took in more incredible sights even some posing cows, savored banoffee pie with carmel sauce and of course had plenty of laughter!
Off to the west… Rain…well, of course!
First stop Galway, a quick meander around and a stop for food. Erin even found something special for Kevin, her kitty.
En route we pass a castle; we stop and take a closer look…
Since our hotel was on the way, we decided to check-in and drop our bags off before visiting the Cliffs Moher and Doolin.
We drive through Doolin-and consider returning later for drinks and music at Gus O’Conners… though wanting to avoid driving we asked our hotel owner, and she recommended a pub down the hill to hear some trad music. We liked this idea, so Scott would not have to drive. After a lovely dinner at our hotel, we took her advice and strolled down the hill. Fantastic!
~~ Next day
On our way to the Portal Tomb, Poulnabrone, which we referred to as the Table we spot more ruins and a field of cows who seemed to be accustomed to passer-byes almost posing for us and anyone else interested.
On to the moon…
Burial sight and tomb from almost 6000 years ago…The rocks surrounding the Portal Tomb made us feel like we were on the moon.
What next… dinner in Limerick and back to Dublin.
Gorgeous last day in Dublin! A fantastic visit.
