Ireland in all its Glory Day 43 to 55

Well, its been a while, we've been busy in Ireland. With me assisting at a workshop in County Clare up in west Ireland and staying gorgeous Doolin.

Lets see where to start in Ireland, we first arrive at our lovely hostess and great friend Valerie, who I will start off by thanking for being an example of the beauty of Ireland and its kind and friendly people. Thanks for hosting all of us and with such ease and Grace, and what fun we had!The kids now have a surrogate Auntie in Ireland who likes to play "certain" games (ask the kids).

We spend some time in Dublin, in all its glory and get a feel for this bustling Irish city. 

We head west down to Doolin and the cliffs of Moher which are absolutely stunning. The simplicity of the countryside gets in your bones and the wind refreshes your soul. We love the feeling here, but what best epitomizes Ireland is the people and their playfulness and the "MUSIC"  Yeah!!! We had many nights in different pubs listening to the local musicians and watching some of our Iriish friends dance away.

We went to the caves of Aillwee and the Doolin caves which date back millions of years when the island was being formed. 

We went to a ancient ring fort of Caherconnell, which was constructed as early as 500AD, then onto Poulnabrone Dolmen, a burial site dating to 3500BC.

Ireland was this place where for the most part it didn't matter what we did in actuality it was just the feeling of being there with the People and the land, and the just watching out the window and this countryside that makes you feel alive.

Also the hill of Tara, and the gorgeous cemetary. The hill of Tara was the center for the ancient Irish kings, and the site where St. Patrick lit a fire in his conquest against the Pagans.

We went to the Castle fo Trim, where Braveheart was primarily filmed, (it was filmed in Ireland and Scotland. It makes sense though since there was and is that connection with Irish and Scottish.

We have loved being here, and has been a great Celtic catalyst to carry us onto Scotland, already feeling  my celtic roots that feel alive with the Irish.

I know we will be back to explore more in this beautiful land, of the fairys, and green hills, and fields and the Irish sea, and the Atlantic, but we feel just bye for now. I wish I could say something in Irish to sign off with, for it has been really amzing to see Irish Gaelic written on all the signs.

Val remind me again how you say cheers in Irish, will you now? 

-Slainte!!

So its been great "craic" in Ireland , which means great fun! and we have been happy as Larry here!!
