A Wee Glimpse of Ireland

While everyone is wearing their shamrocks and drinking green beer, I thought I’d share a wee glimpse of our last trip to Ireland. Click a picture for more.

“…And if you can’t go to heaven,
May you at least die in Ireland.”

 

Ireland - The Country

 

Rolling, green hills, castle ruins and cemeteries, quaint villages and vibrant cities made it one our favourite places to visit!

 

 

 

 

 

Ireland Castles

 

It’s said that there are over 30,000 castles and castle ruins dotted all over the Irish landscape. Here are just a few of our favourites.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ireland - The People

 

Humorous, warm, friendly and utterly charming, the Irish people we met felt like family we actually liked.

 

 

 

 

 

Ireland - Food and Drink

 

From pubs to Michelin Star restaurants, the food was fabulous and the drink, even better!

Peter O’Toole, on his favourite Irish food: “My number one choice is Guinness. My number two choice would be Guinness. My number three choice would have to be Guinness.”

 

 

 

 

By blood, I’m not Irish, but this beautiful country and people captured my heart and spirit! Now, it’s calling me back. See you in Ireland!
