And It All Began with a Pub Crawl

The courtship was vastly more romantic than that, but the honeymoon began in Dublin and had to include a pub crawl. Dublin reminded me of New York with its busy streets and people bustling in every direction. The manor house where we stayed in Adare seemed more like a castle, and we're still not sure what language they were speaking in the small diner where we stopped shortly after getting off the plane in Shannon. Although we did eventually manage to communicate that we would like to know the location of the rest room, uhm bathroom, er toilet, eh water closet, uh lavatory.

(Photos from when my camera only had 3.4 megapixels.)

Is it your anniversary? If so, happy day! John and I honeymooned in Ireland, too, and saw many of the same sights. So beautiful, so romantic.

Not our anniversary, but thank you. Just thought it would be fun to post the pics for NaBloPoMo. Ireland was so beautiful. I couldn't believe how unspoiled it was. I think I could walk through the rolling green hills forever.

Beautiful pictures! I have got to get to Ireland sometime soon.

I, too, have always wanted to go to Ireland, and your pictures just made it worse!!! I'll have to skip the pub crawl. Well, we could go and I'll be designated driver. (I'm on meds that don't mix well with alcohol.)

Thanks all. I love to take photos, and Ireland certainly makes it hard to find a bad shot.
