Several people have asked me what my favorite part of Ireland was. It was all such a lovely place and a great experience -- it's hard to choose!
A few of my favorites are:
Scenery-- the green hills and the blue ocean and the rolling hills and the stone fences.
The FOOD and the TEA!!!!
Ancient ruins. I just don't get to touch something that was built in the 8th century everyday!
Fresh natural air -- fragrant with the ocean and the roses and the fields and even the hint of livestock.
Uninterrupted conversations with my husband.
Feeling amazingly healthy and energetic. Walking for hours every day, no back pain, no headaches -- even my dry skin cleared up!
Visiting a place we'd always dreamed of and finding it was even better than we imagined.
Friendly people.
Our only disappointment was that the weather was absolutely beautiful the entire time. Warm and 70 or 80. We have sunny and warm every day in Vegas and we had hoped for a cool and wet vacation in Ireland. It was ironic to leave Vegas and get a suntan in Ireland!

Ahh, such great memories. What a great idea you had to do this. It brought back my own happy ones from visiting the UK.

I loved reading your about your wonderful trip to Ireland. Thank you for sharing. It sounds like the perfect romantic getaway for a milestone anniversary. I enjoyed your accounts of the history, music and food. Sounds like you had a wonderful anniversary that won't be soon forgotten
Ah, memories! Dh and I visited Ireland in 1992. Dublin to Limerick to Cork, then on to Europe. We had that nice cool, cloudy weather. And as a redhead, I fit in quite nicely!
