So I've been wanting to start a blog for some time now. . . and finally found some time while travelling.
I've been in Ireland for 5 days now. Started in Dublin, beautiful old town with a pub on every corner. Then headed across the island to Galway to catch a local rugby game - Connacht vs. Cardiff. Pints of Guinness were everywhere. If you want to see the local irish in their element, go to a rugby game. Unfortunately the home team - Connacht - lost, but that didn't damper their spirits. I was lucky enough to stand next to Gavin Duffy's mum at the match. Gavin plays fullback (#15) for Connacht and supposedly is getting some exposure with the national team.
Anyways, next stop was Killrush, where I stayed in a cute B&B called Crotty's Pub. Very old school, loved it right from the old light fixtures to the friendly staff. Right now I'm in Dingle, Ireland - a small town on the west coast of ireland. Staying a few days here and heading around the south coast back to Dublin. Any suggestions on places to see along the way? Blarney stone, something in Cork or Kilkenny, Wexford, Waterford???
