Default Ireland... Ohhh sweet Ireland...

I'm starting to think that I may get to Ireland and never come home again... It looks so beautiful and the Dingle Peninsula looks like a place I could definitely spend the rest of my life. *happy sigh*

It's absolutely fantastic!! My Avatar is at the Cliffs of Moher.... but really just ANYWHERE you go in Ireland is beautiful. You will love it.

Make sure you go to Inis Mor (Itan Islands). Galway is a fantastic city, they have this really nice walk from the center by the river to get to the Uni campus.

Ahhh I wish I was there now!! I don't believe in past lives, but if I did, I deffinitely lived there once...

Yes ireland is a fab place! The dingle peninsula is soooooooo pretty. I rented a bike and did a daytrip around it. So make sure you do that!! Dingle is a cute little town..52 pubs or something like that. So make sure you have a beer for me! :D And florencia is right, make sure you go to the aran islands...one of the best things that I saw in ireland was inis mor. You can hire a taxi driver to show you the sights or if the weather is good you can bike ride around it.

Majestic you must have brought the good weather with you, I hope you stay too. Today is the first day it didn't rain in about 3 months. Or did it? I only woke up around 11pm our town festival is on, early starts are out the window this week. :D

I actually won't be in Ireland until about mid October... Which can only mean of course, that the great weather has been brought on by my simply making plans to be there! Ireland loves me already!!!

hey, if it says "Please take me" on it, is it really stealing?

I've actually started a new collection of pictures...its my wife on a bike. She hates bikes. That of course makes it so much funnier. i dont know where i'm going with this, but Ireland is awesome, I was there back in '05 and I want to go back so badly. Good luck with your trip.
