All the many times I have spent in Ireland have been some of the happiest in my entire life. Fortunate enough to have very strong family ties with this beautiful country, I’ve been able to spend large portions of my life hidden away in the stark and harsh beauty of the edge of the Connemara.
The people are wonderful, the countryside is beautiful and seemingly never-ending. Nevermind the weather, Ireland just wouldn’t be the same without it’s showers and ever-present rainbows.
Dublin is worth a visit, yes. But don’t forget the cultural side of Ireland. Take a dive – head out towards Galway and the Connemara where the people speak an old language and you can almost see the faery mounds or one of the DeDanann from the corner of your eyes.
