Well – it’s Friday and…Ireland is beautiful! We’ve had a night in Galway and a night in Killarney. Tonight is our second night at the Killarney Lodge – it is simply wonderful!
Galway was very cool – we stayed in a nice hotel by the harbor. It was called the..wait for it…HARBOR HOTEL! 😎 Did a little walking around on Wednesday – a little shopping – a little eating. Had lunch at a pub in an 800 year old building – called The King’s Head.
Wayne was King for a Minute!
This is a Marriage Stone on that mantel! The description says this stone carries the coats-of-arms of three of the original 14 “Tribes of Galway” – the Baldwin, Martin and FFrench’s – for a marriage in 1612!
That evening, we went to a pizza spot.
Yep. We had pizza. In Ireland. And it was yum! 🤷♀️🤷♀️. Pizza is universal, y’all!
On Thursday, we headed to Killarney, where we’ll stay for two nights.
For me – Ireland means…lots of green pastures with beautiful stone wall separating them. I got that and it was just as cool as I’d figured it’d be!
And then – as we headed into County Kerry – the mountains appeared! Simply beautiful!
We arrived in good time to the The Killarney Lodge – which is wonderful – everything you’d think of when you think…”B&B in Ireland”!
Our planned excursion for Thursday was to drive the Ring of Kerry – which we did. It was gorgeous – the road was quite narrow and some REALLY big trucks passed us going the other direction. Amy and I – in the backseat – just looked out the windows and tried not to watch! Thank goodness Lance was driving and wasn’t put off at all by the WRONG side driving! He was a pro.
We saw a lot of the Atlantic – and lots of mountains – and some pretty churches!
Yes – it was rainy and drizzly. I know?! That hardly EVER happens in Ireland! 🤔 But it was beautiful. And – I think I could for sure live in Kenmare!
We got “home” and went and had a wonderful dinner. When we got back to the Lodge – the fireplace was burning cozily in the entryway. So nice!
Today we’re going to the National park to do a little hiking – and then this afternoon we’ll head out to Cork and check out the Blarney Stone (which we will NOT be kissing – we’ve heard things…😳😳) but…pictures are fair game!
So far – this has been an amazing trip – we always have fun with Amy and Lance – and I can’t wait to see what today and the next few days have in store!

I’m so glad you are having fun…..hope you are staying dry!! I looked for Finn on the web-site……they certainly allow the doggies to get dirty. I guess playing in the mud is great fun for doggies…..at least they will send him home clean ( I hope)
Yes – they do seem to enjoy the mud! Thankfully there’s no horse…uhm…you know!! :). Thanks, Faith! 🙂
You pictures are gorgeous! Enjoy the rest of your trip! I’ve been keeping tabs in Finn and it looks like he’s having a grand time! 🙂
