Ireland   

      Starting first phase of trip. Here we go.

      Left Denver June 20th arrived at Shannon Airport. Met by family members. Proceeded to sons pub, to refresh ourselves. I am here now at Cahirciveen County Kerry for sishing to Lake Derianan. Went swimming and a picnic. Plenty of food and drink, and of course music.

      We did catch some trout and had a feast along with Baked Potatoes. Some of us men found a nice shady tree and took a nap. Well after 4 days going to Tralee and to An Daingean to check out the pubs.

      Spent time in County Kerry with wife's relatives. While here was at several Wrens get together. A Wren is a bird that was killed and hung outside, at a home or pub. Then musicians arrive and play. There is food, drink and dance. After the Wren is over give them some coins and also the dancers. We do different types of sets, depending on the music. I did a few sets, along with me Guinness.

      Well I'm in Carrack County Wexford, and leaving by Aer Lingus to France.
