We came back today from Ireland. What a wonderful trip even though we had some rain and hail it did not diminish the beauty of the landscape. Our first two nights were with Rita Mead and Margret at the Berry Lodge, a must-do for us. If you are going to Ireland you can check the web site at:

Keeping the daily driving to a minimum, we covered the northeast with only two days on the road that were too long. I did a few watercolor sketches and took photographs. We stopped often to get out and walk, look in a few shops and just watch the people. The faces of Ireland are changing now they are in the EU.
We enjoyed talking with friends from earlier visits, the Atlantic View in Clifden, Mr. Kelly at Quay West in Westport and the Cahills at Laural Lodge in Ennis. A stop in Donegal was a must for a new Hanna Hat and a visit with Mr. McGinty at the sweater shop. We enjoyed talking with other friends from earlier visits. Although two restaurants we were planning on revisiting were not open on the days when we were near, we found others where the food was good and the atmosphere pleasant. Our evening was well spent at Kitty Kelly's restaurant in Killybegs: good food, lots of entertainment watching the others guests and the owner/maitre d'. Off the Square in Clifden was excellent: food, waitstaff and atmosphere.
