Left over questions: the burren is the title given to land where little grows except rock. Example: the badlands of South Dakota. Have we stayed at the same hotel or are we on the move? We started out in Dublin for two nights and will return to that hotel for our last night. After Dublin we were at a different hotel for three nights. We have been here in Killarney for two nights. Tomorrow night we will be in Kilkenny and then on to Dublin. We have repacked often. The Schroeder 'plastic bag' method has stood us in good stead.
Today we did the Ring of Kerry - a 105 mile drive along the peninsula of Kerry. It was mountainous, but filled with beauty. We stopped at a thatch cottage small family run restaurant for lunch. Mostly we just rode and stopped for photo ops or potty stops. Mid-afternoon half the group took a 3 mile walk through the National Park--lead by a park ranger. Chuck did that. The rest of the group came back for shopping or resting. That would be me. Early this evening we took the bus about 20 minutes to a small town where we were entertained by Brendon McSomething who sang and played the concertina, Johnny the Flute, and a Fiddle Player. We were served a delicious meal with a choice of salmon or Irish (lamb) stew. Later we had the choice of Irish coffee or Bailey over ice. A 12 year old girl entertained us with Irish dancing and some from our group also danced. It was a fantastic evening--a fitting finish to another beautiful day.
