I loved Ireland, so here's more!

Kinsale Harbor in County Cork
Kinsale City Hall
Summer Cove across Kinsale Harbor
Flowers
Southern coastline of Ireland
The daily storm on the horizon.
At an old farm in southern Ireland.
Going into the Irish Sea by Tramore. The water was cold. Really cold, colder than Lake Geneva.
The swimming cove near Tramore. These people were crazy. It was barely 70 degrees outside and the water was like ice.
Downtown Waterford.
The Kennedy ancestral home. We spotted a sign from the road so we took a quick detour and this is what we found. There were also 3 very old farm builings and a house. The nearby town of Dunbroody has a JFK festival every year. While in Waterford we met the friendliest old man named Patrick Noel. He told us great stories, sang and entertained us for a while. He was there in 1963 when JFK gave a speech. The people in Ireland were extremely gracious and friendly. Possibly, the best stop of my entire trip.
The farms near the Kennedy home. The road we had to take to get there was narrow and overgrown with shrubs and trees. In many places it looked like a tunnel for one car but it was a two-way road.
