Day 7: Limerick and Adare

On our journey to our next Irish home - Kenmare, we drove through the beautiful countryside. I am not going to say it was relaxing due to the narrow, windy roads and not getting used to driving on the opposite side of the road. But it was worth it.

First stop - a self guided walk around Limerick







Next stop - Adare and some delicious ice cream



We didn’t stop in Killarney just drove through (we will visit later), but we were very interested to find out it is a sister city of our home Scottsdale. 


And then finally - Kenmare. It was about as cute as it could be.

Day 8: Kenmare

Image
Our first morning in Kenmare, we decided to play another round of golf. It was very rainy, but we pushed through. It was worth it we only lost a million golf balls in the narrowest course either of us had ever played. All kidding aside, we did have fun and were glad we did it. After golf, we went to lunch at Casey’s. Kelly spent some time talking to the owner and learning about where her Casey’s came from. It was a great visit with great food as well. In the afternoon, we explored a little more. We found the Kenmare Stone Circle. According to ringofkerry.com, “stone circles were built during the Bronze Age (2200 - 500 B.C.) believed to be for ritual and ceremonial purposes.” The rest of the walk about was just quintessential town stuff.

Day 5: Aran Islands

Our first day staying in Galway proper, we took a ferry ride out to the Aran Islands.   We explored the island on electric bikes.  On the way back, we were able to see the Cliffs of Moher from the water. The pictures don’t do it justice.

Today, we took a walking tour around Galway. We learned about all the original clans of the city. We listened to buskers along the way. Galway was so lovely, lively and welcoming. We finished the day with afternoon tea at the Hardiman.
