| In the last week of May, and the first week of June of 2002, Mary and I, along with Mary's brother, Bob, and
his wife, Linda, spent two wonderful weeks in Ireland. We had the time of our
lives, and can't wait to go back. The people were so wonderful,
bed-and-breakfasts were unbelievably delightful. The views across Ireland are
breathtaking. All that, not
to mention that it was the home of the Hughes and McAndrews
ancestors.
Erin Go Bragh!. . . which is Gaelic for "Ireland Forever," or in more literal terms, "'til doomsday." Our first week we were in a cottage on the grounds of the Park Hotel in Kenmare, in the southwest, not far from Killarney. This is County Kerry. And everywhere is "Guinness Country."
We landed at the Shannon Airport, then took in the annual music festival in nearby Ennis. After our first week, we did the bed-and-breakfast thing, traveling through Cork and Waterford, and up to Dublin, checking out County Kildare where the Hughes came from. Here's a nice map of Ireland.
