Dramatic scenery abounds!

        Southern Ireland surprises. You can be walking (or driving!) in alpine heights at noon and eating fresh mussels under palm trees by the water's edge at suppertime. Drive from Ireland's second largest city to tiny villages that speak only Gaelic in under 90 minutes. And the colors! The only brighter colors than the blue of the sky and sea, and the green of the grass are those in the Technicolor rainbow of houses and shops in the towns and villages.

In our customers' own words—
 
            "We arrived home April 30 after our very enjoyable trip. April is a beautiful time of year to visit Ireland — green grass and flowers everywhere
and many things to see. It was a history lesson for us as well as a vacation.
