At the B&B they told us about Collins Bar down the way where there would be a 'music circle' that evening. A music circle is an informal gathering of musicians to play traditional tunes and enjoy a few pints and good cheer.

| Adare in County Limerick & Collins Bar Sunday evening, 4/25/04 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We arrived in Adare late Sunday after long day on the Dingle Peninsula to stay the night. Adare is a very pretty village on N21 southwest of the city of Limerick. The next day we planned to drop Julia off in Limerick before Debbie, Kevin and I made our way to Shannon Airport to fly home to Boston Monday afternoon. At the B&B they told us about Collins Bar down the way where there would be a 'music circle' that evening. A music circle is an informal gathering of musicians to play traditional tunes and enjoy a few pints and good cheer. |

| This was the last evening of our trip. It was nice to kick back with a pint, enjoy the music and not have to be planning the next day's itinerary. We enjoyed our whirlwind few days in Ireland but there is still much to experience that will have to wait for another time. Hopefully, some day we'll get to return to the Emerald Isle. |
