Ireland






Jamison Distillary







Carrack-a-reed Bridge





Cliffs of Moher






Dingle, Ireland





Blarney Castle








Giants Causeway


We have been in Ireland for 5 days now. Our first day we took a tour of the Old Jameson distillery and Tom was selected to taste test 5 different whiskey's for the "good of the whole group" as our tour guide put it. After which he received a double shot of Jameson whiskey and a fancy Diploma he can frame when we arrive home. We spent an afternoon out in Howth, just outside of Dublin. Driving in the countryside is quite beautiful here, green hills covered with flowers and spotted with cows, sheep, and of course castles. We spent two nights in Northern Ireland, camping in Balleycastle. Saw the Carrick-a-rede bridge, the Giant's Causeway, Bushmill's distillery, and went deep sea fishing. We didn't catch anything impressive but it was quite tasty off the grill. Last night we stayed in a tiny village in Western Ireland about 8 km from Sligo. Lots of surfing going on dispite the small waves. Tonight we are in Doolin near the Cliffs of Moher which we plan to see tomorrow on our way to Cork. Hope everything is well at home. Heather and Tom.
