Monday morning, Walt heads off to Clonmel for work and after a beach walk in the morning, Karen and I set off via train to Kilarney, in the southwest corner of Ireland. Karen booked us an overnight trip which includes train from Dublin to Kilarney. The town was filled with quaint shops and restaurants. After trying on many sweaters (the area is known for Aran sweaters) we both decided to sleep on the decision and return in the morning. Thankful for technology, I sent a picture to Rachel and she suggested I focus on the trendier cowl neck sweaters instead of sweaters with buttons.
Rachel – I hope you approve of my final decision!
Early Tuesday morning we hired Michael to be our jarvey driver and take us for a horse-drawn carriage ride to the Castle in the Kilarney National Park. Then the highlight of the adventure began – a 6 hour tour around the beautiful Ring of Kerry. Our stops included a recreated historical village, photo stops and excellent Irish stew overlooking the coast and fresh ice cream in Sneem (which means “a knot” in Irish). Here painted houses and shops surround the beautiful landscaped greens.
