Bunratty, Cliffs and Burren

Today began the touring segment of the trip. and Terry brought the good weather along. We sent niece Kathy off at Shannon, then took a tour of Bunratty castle and folk park. Very pleasant.

Shannon

I mentioned in previous entries how much I resented the amount of needless worrying I did before embarking on this trip. Heeding those warnings, I rid myself of anything that would (a) make me a target as far as jewellery was concerned and (b) cause difficulties if any form of ID was stolen. Hey! The light went on in Rio- I hadn't brought my dri...

Met up with Parents

Met up with the rents in Shannon and gave them a tour of good ole Irish roads which resulted in accelerated heartbeats and a pole taking off the rental car's side mirror.
