Flag of Ireland  , County Clare,
Thursday, September 4, 2008

The highlight of the trip so far, (and probably the whole visit,)  has been our stop at Bunratty, in Co. Limerick. Not because of the famous castle, and not even because of the great, well known pub "Durty Nellie's!"  It's because I got to finally meet the cutest little angel in all of Ireland... "Little Kim!"

We didn't even bother with the castle, but we did manage to have the world famous fish and chips at the pub. None of it mattered once I got the hug I've been waiting for since St. Patrick's day this year! 

For those of you who didn't know, Little Kim has a rare condition, and we spent a week or so raising some funds to help her mom with some of her expenses... It was all well worth it when I finally got to hold onto this little doll, and see she was in great hands with her mom and grandmother. I was so proud to have been a very small part of helping her Great-Uncle, Sean from America with the project!  Of all the pictures I've had taken, or have taken myself in this beautiful country, I think my favorites will those with Little Kim in them!
