Recent Events

Last week we went to Dublin for our excursion and toured Trinity college where we saw the Book of Kells in the Long Room,  Kilmainham Gaol where we learned the harsh conditions of the prisoners and also how unmerciful the guards were on young children, and we also had a look around the National Museum in Dublin. Here I was very intrigued by the famous Bog bodies.
On Halloween day I went on a tour with my friend Jamie to the Ring of Kerry. Absolutely gorgeous!! It was well worth it and a great deal was learned of the west coast. We made many stops for us touristers of the group to take pictures, and we were very fortunate to have weather cooperate with us. In the morning it was raining but once we got to our destinations it subsided and the sun came through the clouds. One place I would love to go back and have a longer walk around would be Killarney National Park. I had no idea we would be stopping here as well as to the site of the Torc waterfall, so we were very much surprised/pleased with our tour.
