Stylin' stiles in the Brrrrren
... s 12th century cathedral. Then we drove towards Carran, our first stop. We had chosen a walk (a.k.a. a hike) from a "Burren Walks" brochure. The trailhead is across from Cassidy’s Pub (closed until Easter Saturday … which is tomorrow!) While looking at the display map in the trailhead parking lot we met a family of three who all had full frame backpacks; the mom and dad were pointing out to their son how far they had come; they have been hiking the ...

The fire was stoked with logs, every table was ...
Beaches
... mild day for me. And I know that they'd be all pink and whiny and sweating like pigs. So there.
After the shell-collecting and sandcastle-building and Grandma-sharing, we bought toilet paper (because two rolls is not enough for 7 people especially when one has a permanent stomach-ache). And then out to dinner to celebrate Meryl's birthday (which was last week) at an Italian restaurant. It was nice that the restaurant ...
