Day 7





Thursday, September 3

"She" dragged me out of bed at 5:30, to follow our Lord Rick Steves' advice to hit the Ring of Kerry before the tourists and buses overtook the roads. I must admit I was very happy that we rose early and skipped breakfast to have the quiet, early morning to travel past quiet lakes, waterfalls, mountains and valleys. We spent about 5 hours traveling around the ring. We came back down through Killarney to Kinsale. We had just a little difficulty locating our B&B as all signs in Ireland appear to lie.

Kinsale is a coastal town that reminded me of Annapolis. Sailboats in the bay, waterfront restaurants and a lively downtown area were a nice change from the sleepy villages we had been seeing. Our B&B was The Rivermount House was the most elegant we had seen, and filled with other Americans.

We planned to go to Cashel on Friday to see The Rock.
