Southern Ireland Roadtrip

Wednesday, July 01, 2009



Hello there. We just want to give a quick update. The drive is going well. We have stopped off in a few places along the ocean to soak up the beauty of the coast line. Currently we find ourselves being blessed by the company and hospitality of a wonderful family. We took a turn off in the country side down a single lane road with only room for one car to drive down. We ended up at the end of one of the southern most peninsulas of Ireland. The land is lush green farmland. We were drawn to continue further into this unknown area drawn by a castle like structure on the tip of the peninsula. As we were nearing the end of the peninsula (near the town of Skull or Schull). We came across a family biking and walking along the single lane road. They were nice enough to make a phone call to a neighbor who gave us permission to put up our tent up. The tent sits near the side of a cliff looking out to the castle like structure and the Atlantic Ocean. Currently we are hanging out at their place that is two fields away from where are tent is set up. Mariella is exchanging card tricks with Etain and Aoife (Eva).
