Ireland is really beautiful. That is all.

Just got back from two weeks in Ireland. My girlfriend's family is from there and still has the ole' farm that the grandparents and all zillion uncles and aunts grew up on.

I've always wanted to go, and have to say it exceeded my expectations. Gorgeous country, really friendly people. Travelled around quite a bit and loved everything I saw (especially my g/f's cousin's place- a few doors down from Bono and home to not one but two Ferraris ...).

Anyway, if y'all have the chance to visit it's truly gorgeous out there. And lots of sheep to boot.

...

To make this somehow guitar related ... I was traveling around the west coast (near Downpatrick Head). Turned on the radio ... first tune that came on was "Working On Love" by Albert Lee. Having just bought that CD at the clinic it was fresh in my mind ... what are the odds ...

If you don't post pictures of Ireland, then it doesn't exist...

 

[beej]

Ooh. You got me. Ok that's tomorrow's project. Hopefully I didn't leave the bloody camera at the Guinness brewery or Jameson distillery ...

 

[greenwizard]

On the contrary, you should hope that you left your camera in the brewery, it gives you a good excuse to go back...

 

[beej]

Damn. You got me twice

 

[greenwizard]

^^ You learned and didn't say anything I could get you with!

Beej-I guess its time to freshen up the avatar, eh?

 

[beej]

Dammit, got again. Sigh.

OT? I've always heard great things about that country, and I fully intend to get over there sometime.

I must agree with you Beej.

I've been to Ireland myself a few times... I have some friends who live in Belfast (that's Northern Ireland) and I've been there a few times. I've also been on the West Coast, which is really beautiful: blue oceans, amazing landscapes...

I'm actually planning on going there for Christmas Holidays... The Guinness alone would make it worth going!

I live in the north west and it is very beautiful, I came back here after 16 years away and I love it more each day...

 

[the24thfret]

Skegness must be beautiful then... that my friend is a place called Fanad in Donegal, it's about 20 minutes from me and is a great place to get away from everything....

The Irish are great aren't they? says Spudmurphy

I could be on for another trip to Belfast in a couple of weeks time - yippeeee!!

The country looks absolutely amazing.

I went to Kenmare near Killarney in the Republic of Ireland in 2003. Down in the South West corner. I fell in love with the place instantley. I'm determined to take the missus over there soon. A truly stunning place. These pics aren't great quality but they should give you a feel for the beautiful landscape. Enjoy!
