Ireland

Of all the places I visited, Ireland remains with me... but then I am still filtering what I saw. There was so much in such a short time... A month of travel with some incredible places to see. For those of you who have never seen Ireland, I can assure you that it's beautiful and the people are friendly. For those of you that have seen it... well this isn't really news to you. laugh

beautiful pics Abagail...wine
rapturecapture--- I enjoyed it enough to be planning my next flight... which isn't too far away. I am just organising a few more days off work, so I can book for the end of October. smile You live in a beautiful country.

Bogart_1960 ---Thank you.
Wow. I love Ireland. And Scotland.
@Abagail, did you visit Dublin & hear the band 'Mutefish' perform on Grafton Street or Temple Bar? They are street musicians that perform there a lot.
Calliopesgirl ---They are both beautiful. bouquet

soloseeker ---No, I didn't. I have heard of the Temple Bar though, it is quite well known.
@Abagail, The band Mutefish play Celtic music and perform a lot in Dublin. One flute player, 2 guitarists & 3 drummers.

Here is a video from youtube of their performance on Grafton Street in Dublin:

Solo... They are brilliant! banana
@Abagail, I knew you would be impressed by them! On your next trip to Ireland, be sure to ask about them to find out when they will perform. I think the video is interesting coverage of everyday life in Dublin.
I appreciate you sharing them with me.

Except, on my next trip I am going to spend more time around Cork. I have debated whether to fly into Dublin, but... it makes more sense for me to go to Cork. I went to a few live shows in Ireland and they certainly know how to entertain.

It says you are in Oregon... is Ireland like a second home for you too?
@Abagail, I've never travelled to Ireland or outside of USA. I love Celtic music & happened to discover the video of Mutefish on youtube. My ancestry is from long ago & some are Irish & Scottish & British.

From the video, the Irish people look just like groups of Americans.
Solo, I am sorry you haven't been there. It sounds like you would have fallen in love with it as much as I did. I went to a few shows over there...one was in Dublin and it rocked.

This is where I went to the comedy/music show in Dublin.

I have been to Oregon too... you reside in a beautiful state.
@Abagail, looks like the crowd of people enjoyed themselves outside of the show. Are you originally from Australia? Glad you were impressed with Oregon. It is a naturally beautiful State, but so spread out. You have to do a lot of driving to get anywhere.
@Abagail, sounds like a wonderful trip touring the Western USA, that you and your daughter had. You didn't mention going to San Francisco, which is a very interesting city to sightsee in. Also, in Napa Valley, CA, where the wineries & Redwood Forest are is nice.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos from your trip to Ireland. Makes me feel like I've been there by viewing them!

Describing yourself is one of the harder things in life... so why don't I simply say that I like learning, exploring and communicating. The simpler pleasures in life are often the most appealing... but I accept that life isn't always simple, so I lik [read more]
