I’ve been unable to charge my computer for a few days, so I’m going to try to catch up a little bit…

On Monday, May 29, we visited the Cliffs of Moher, which tower hundreds of feet above the crashing waves of the Atlantic.  It was a significant walk up to the Castle and we could hear music as we approached.  We found musicians busking, and both Jay and I had to join in the fun.  Then, a few shots of the cliffs.

Then, on to the medieval town of Ennis, known as the mecca of traditional Irish music.  Before dinner, we explored yet another 12^th century abbey.  In addition to a wonderful dinner, we enjoyed traditional Irish music and dance.  The two young harpists were perfoming for the first time, and they did a great job!

Tuesday the 30^th, we visited a family run dairy farm, which has been in the family for three generations.  

When we arrived in Killarney after lunch, we took a carriage ride through the national park.

Our hotel overlooked the Lakes of Killarney.  I took a few minutes to sight read some traditional Irish music.  Dinner just down the road.

On Wednesday, May 31^st, we took a long drive around the Ring of Kerry.  

The next post will show you probably the highlight of the entire trip!
