Last night

Well had a stop over in an old Irish bed and breakfast. We're hitting the B AND B pretty good now. Guess it was just a bad luck start off.
The tree pictured is a monkey tree. So cool! Guess legend has it that it is the only tree a monkey cannot climb because of the sharpness of the branches. I remember Jerry and Rolien had one planted in their yard. Hadn't seen one before that. Plan for the day is to head off to a place called Skibbereen. There they tell the story of the horrific Irish famine.
We are now on the east coast of Ireland. Guess it is more beautiful than the west so now it's come as it may. If you are following us on a map, we hope to land up in Dingle tonight. Next stop would be Listowel. Guess a lot of Irish left here for Canada and named the town after their homeland. Keri should you ever make it here it would have to be a stop on your list as you also made an unexpected arrival in Listowel.
enjoy the pictures. Sure hope it's all working. Can't or don't k ow how to check it, so if the pictures are not working please let me know somehow.
