What can I say, I love Dingle!!! Had a pint of Creans for Mike & Kathy, wish you were here! Got to celebrate another birthday today, Joan. This has been the second time to celebrate her birthday in Ireland! Our only scheduled visit of the day was Bantry House & Gardens. The remainder of the day was spent meandering our way to Kilkenny. Saw amazing rainbows today! So happy to be spending the next two nights in one of my favorite hotels, The Malton. Today we visited Charles Fort followed by a walking tour of Kinsale led by Barry Maloney. Was saddened to hear of the passing of Mick Lavelle, a wonderful storyteller from Westport. One of our guests celebrated his 13th birthday on our tour. How nice of his granny to bring him to Ireland. Celebrated in Kinsale. Today we visited the Rock of Cashel once the seat of Munster. St. Patrick visited the rock in 450. There is so much history here. Next stop is Blarney Castle. We had time to visit the castle, eat lunch, and shop. Our final stop on the way to Kinsale was the English Market in Cork City. The origins of the market can be traced back to 1610. Finally we made it to Kinsale where we celebrated Colin's 13th birthday. What great fun to celebrate your 13th birthday in Ireland.Had a beautiful ride from Kilkennt to Kinsale. First stop at Rock of Cashel then Blarney, and English Market in Cork before arriving in Kinsale. Sorry there have been no recent blog entries. Internet has been spotty. Hope it's better when we get to Killarney. Had a smooth flight to Dublin. After being met by our driver, Aidan, our first stop of the day was Glendalough. Got caught in the rain. Welcome to Ireland!
