Traveling through Ireland

Post by TheArmsman »

Just wanted to say that traveling through Ireland rocks. Haven't seen so much green since the jungles in Okinawa.

Made a trip out to the Skellig Islands, off the coast of Dingle. Oy, what a place. Maybe 12 monks lived there. 9 miles off the coast. 688 steps all the way to the top. Absolutely gorgeous.

Have seen lots of signs with the name of Byrne over here. Wonder if they are any relation to our Chris

Just had dinner at the Bunratty Castly, west of Limerick. Place is amazing. Went through a complete restoration in the 1960's. Lots of authentic period tapestries and furnishings inside. Still has the original stone floor that was originally lade back in about 1450.

Will definitely be coming back.
