I'm back from a lovely but very rainy visit to Ireland. It was a very different vacation for me, as I'm not so used to driving around so much. Most of my trips involve visits to cities where I stay in one place and travel by subway or foot. I managed to avoid car travel for one day though and took a 14 mile hike/walk over some pretty green rugged terrain that involved close encounters with many sheep. It was long but fun. The south-west of Ireland is beautiful, and I'd like to return again and see all the stuff I felt like we missed. I'll post photos in a week or so, once I have time to go over them properly. Now, to catch up on all that email…
