Ireland! (You'll Notice a Lot of Green)

Daybreak and the Duluth Intl Airport as we begin our journey to Ireland

An unsuccessful nap in Newark, NJ during a 10 hour layover


The lane which became the base for our travels in Belfast


Nightie-night Gwyneth. Settling into the night in Brandon

View #1 from our room in Brandon


View #2 from our room in Brandon


Our friendly accomodations in Brandon, which belongs to the parents of Karen Kelly (one of our fabulous hosts)


Horse in the pasture. We got to watch him from our window as well.


Daytrip to Kinsale with Karen's mom Daphne


For some reason, I found this photo particularly funny with the girl running from the fountain as if it's about to explode...



Tribute to the Kinsale mariners lost at sea.





I didn't know that John Deere manufactured sale boats!!???


Gwyneth's Irish souvenir - a rain cover for her stroller









Our world traveler...traveling.



Our fabulous host, chauffeurs, cultural experts, guides, and wonderful friends Shane (with arm in sling after shoulder surgery) and Karen at Karen's parent's house.


Daphne and Mervin - Karen's warm parents and hosts while in Brandon.


Gwyneth analyzing the fountain in Galway


Galway


This is Louise. I rode her outside of Galway. She was beautiful, but to be honest, she wasn't very friendly or cooperative.


Outside of Sligo. Probably the most beautiful countryside we saw in Ireland.


The cows escaped some poor farmer's pasture.


On our way to Giants Causeway
