| Ireland. Ireland is a green land. It rains often there. The people are quite friendly and talk with the most beautiful accent. Interestingly, they talk less about the weather than the people in Great Britain even though it rains more in Ireland. There are many, many pubs. We visited a lot. Almost all pubs serve Guinness, Baileys, and something called Irish Stew. Here is a story that features the weather, the accent, and a pub: My brother Chris and I were relieving ourselves in the loo of a pub in Killarney, and I was bemoaning the amount of rain. An Irish fellow next to me looked over. With a twinkle in his eye, a smile upon his face, and a Guinness in his free hand, he says, "Aye, it 'tis rainin' a good bit. But if ya woulda phoned and let us know that you were comin', we could have fixed it for ya, and delivered some nice sunshine." Renting a fine automobile, we toured a lot of the beautiful countryside and took in famed attractions (seen exclusively on this website). We hope you have enjoyed this page, and the other pages of our travel website. We are heading back to the States and look forward to seeing many of you soon. Thank you all for checking us out over the course of these last 13 months. |
