Stampin’ Up! Galway, Killarney and Finn!

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!
