Ireland bound

A nice long weekend to Ireland to see Tom Petty! We started our journey in wet Dublin where we met up with Javi, Ani, Artemio, Mayra and Toi. Cute little town, though only seen thru a sideways turned umbrella. After, Ricardo and I rented a car and headed for the West Coast to see a bit of the countryside. No specific plans or reservations, so we took off driving.......
Temple Bar in Dublin, where you´ll find all the traditional pubs and nightlife, though that´s also on nearly every corner
Guiness Factory- they let me change my beer for a diet coke- nice
We started our drive around Connemara, stoping the night at "Singing Mary´s" B&B in Clifden and then off to see KylmoreAbbey and Gardens
Our next drive was around the Peninsula, for more amazing scenery
Next stop, Cliffs of Moher on the Dingle Peninsula
An overnight stay at the honeymoon spot of our lives- or not- we got in late to Kilarney and decided to just get a small room for the night above a local pub. Hmmm on a Saturday night, was maybe not the best idea. Luckily the drive the next day was more than worth it. We spent a full day driving "The Ring of Kerry", Stopping off at Valentia Island and looping back around for 1 last night Limerick

Nice little getaway for the Riches.
