Quite Lovely by Gertie

Just got back from a visit to Ireland. My sister and I stayed at the Gallery B&B in Kinsale (two thumbs up) and one night dined at Max’s restaurant (two thumbs way up) where the food is amazing and the service is superb. Avoid the Whitehouse! There are lots of pubs with live music nightly, and amazing art galleries with pieces for sale. The main “town” is small and easy to meander thru despite the throngs of tourists, and a sunset walk along the harbour is just lovely.

Home to more than a dozen award-winning restaurants and pubs, Kinsale draws food lovers year-round, particularly in October during the 4-day Gourmet Festival. With its narrow, winding streets; well-kept 18th-century houses; imaginatively painted shop fronts; window boxes overflowing with colorful flowers; and a harbor full of sailboats, Kinsale is enchanting. The downside of all this is that the secret is out: This is a tourist town, so add parking problems and tour buses to the list of the city's sights. (read article)
