August 16 – Bunratty to Skibbereen

What a start to my visit to Ireland. Arrived on Monday morning and started that afternoon off with a nice walk and visit to Bunratty castle before Irish coffee in a B & B courtyard with the owner’s grandkids playing music for our group. Then some great seafood dinner and a pint in Bunratty. Today got to visit Adare before lunch in Kinsale. Then over to Skibbereen for a group dinner with Willy singing for his supper before a private concert with local singer songwriter John Spillane. Punctuated, of course, with cider, whiskey, and some stout.
