🎶 🎶 🎶
“In Dublin's fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through the streets, broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"

Passed through Galway and had a stop off at The Christmas Market. Then made it to our home base for a few days- Lake Hotel Killarney. I’d stay here again and again… and again.

The hotel has old castle ruins in the back, perfect for exploring. We could see the ruins from the room and from the breakfast room downstairs. The hotel itself is like its own museum; history around every corner. Old keepsakes, documents and letters lined the walls, telling of the rich history of the hotel. Lots of space for gathering or simply watching the sun rise and sun set.

On a cold day, hot chocolate at Mrs.Tea’s, the Ashford Castle Cafe, hits the spot!

Leaving the Giant’s Causeway we caught a glimpse of Dunluce Castle just as the sun was setting.
Then we got caught in a hail storm 😂.

Rosses Point

“Waiting On Shore” sculpture. So many landmarks preview the sadnes people felt when fleeing the shores of Ireland.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Glasshouse Hotel in Sligo, Ireland
This hotel served as the perfect home base for this visit, offering a warm, clean, and comfortable atmosphere with great food options.

The room had a lovely view of the river, and the hotel’s location made it easy to walk to local pubs, cafes, and stores.

The Giant’s Causeway ✅

- 60 million years old and counting
The Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland isn’t just a stunning natural wonder—it's steeped in legend. According to myth, the giant Finn McCool built the causeway to cross the sea and challenge a his rival, Scottish giant named Benandonner. Another tale is that the IGiant began to build the causeway to Scotland to see his love.
Whether you believe in giants or not,this world heritage site is breathtaking and you won't soon forget it!
