It’s beautiful. I wish I had gone there in 98 when I was in Ireland. I ran the Dublin Marathon then went down to Waterford and Kilkenny. That is where my great grandfather was from and I saw several of my relatives graves. It probably sounds morbid but I love the cemeteries in Ireland. Beautiful headstones.

I haven't been very far south in Ireland, but so far, my favorite place is Galway. we thought of buying a house in Galway City in the mid '90s, but all sorts of other things intervened and now there's no way I could afford it. plus, of course, I'm too old to be anywhere but here.
the thing about Galway is that it's on the coast and very picturesque, etc. but suddenly you hit Connemara and the landscape is like the moon or something.
a good friend of mine was just there (well, almost a year ago) and he said that for him, Galway was full of Tr***-supporting, conspiracy-loving English people. his favorite place was Belfast. maybe it's all true and I'm stuck back in the recent dark ages. but I like to think (or maybe it's "just" hope) it was just merely his bad luck. in fact, my next avatar might well just be one of me grinning broadly in Galway...and for some reason, I NEVER smile in pictures. especially during this last decade when teeth became a fashion accessory and the cane a necessity.
I wish I could have seen more of Ireland when I was there, but I didn’t have enough time. It is a beautiful place. I love the countryside, the buildings, the pubs and of course the cemeteries. The Rock of Cashel was really amazing to see.
I also like to spend time in cemeteries. I was about to call it weird but remembered the long tradition of writing about cemeteries so obviously I have stuff going on that's a whole lot weirder.
