Ireland was fun.  I did an enormous amount of walking and talked with a lot of nice people.  Two of the nicest were Paul and Nitza Doyle from Houston and Chad.  He works for an oil company in Africa while Nitza makes her home in Houston.  They were "doing" Europe during his off month.  They had been to France and London.  They were with me for five of my seven days and then they went to Spain before returning to their respective destinations.

This is not a typical B&B. It is one of the nicer ones.  It was in Limmerick and I stayed there four nights.	Charming is overused, but it fits.	The green patchwork is the Irish look.	A photo stop along the Dingle Peninsula.	Another photo stop on the way to the Cliffs of Moher.
My new friend from Ecuador.	My new friend from Africa.	Paul and Nitza.	Taken during a boat tour.	A lunch break in a panoramic spot.
In front of the Muckross House.	Troc waterfall near Muckross.	The woods on the way to the waterfall.	A recreation of a blacksmith shop circa 18??.  Note the thatched roof.	Monks lived in these "beehive houses."
An old manor house showing the two distinct stages of construction.	The Cliffs of Moher. If you want to see some professional photos of this awesome sight go to http://www.danheller.com/moher-cliffs.html	Dingle Bay.	Dingle countryside.	A lunch break in the town of Doolin.
A burial marker of an ancient Celtic chieftain.	Galway Bay.  Galway city is the fastest growing city in Europe.	This is take on the Burren.  That hill is limestone.  Not difficult to see why many of the buildings were made of stone.	Limestone is porous and contains nutrients.  This is proof.	How the driver managed a big bus on these tiny roads is beyond me.
