dave ready to leave
dave is in the kitchen getting the last few things together
all our stuff
for our week long trip, we had one large bag plus two smaller ones - not too bad
rental car - front view
we rented a nissan micra - one that you won't see in the US
rental car - side view
here's a side view of our "wind up car"
dave driving in ireland
it was intimidating driving on the other side of the road, but dave handled it
our cottage
we stayed at the 'old killarney village' courtesy of my aunt and uncle
cottage inside
this was the spacious living room - there was actually room to sleep 8 people!
our cottage, again
a better view of the cottage - notice the thatched roof
unpacking
here I am unpacking our clothes for the week
unpacking, still
more unpacking in the master bedroom
dave and kt - awake?
we'd been awake for a LONG time at this point - about 24+ hrs with the time change
aghadoe burial grounds
down the street was a burial ground and the view was spectacular
aghadoe grounds
this burial ground overlooked the killarney national park, and the lakes of killarney
aghadoe grounds
there were old stone walls aplenty in ireland
aghadoe tombs
one of the many tomb-like structures throughout the site
aghadoe tombs
another shot of the structures
aghadoe tombs
aghadoe scenery
closer to the road had some better shots, again of the national park
aghadoe scenery
there was a hotel nearby too that overlooked this scenery
aghadoe tombs
this site had apparently been one of the first churches in the area
aghadoe tombstone
people have been coming here for a while though most of the headstones were more recently erected
aghadoe road
to the left was unexplored ireland, and to the right was our cottage
killarney main street
here's one of the main drags in the town of killarney - they go all out for the holidays
killarney main street
another view of the main street - lots of shops and pubs
time for a nap
the first few days really messed with the internal sleep clocks - naps all around
saturday's dinner
we discovered, too late, that the pubs close in ireland at 8pm... so we had to resort to a bag of mini candy for dinner
mr. bowser face
bowser's first bath
bowsie "enjoying" his first bath
napping dog
one of bowser's favorite lounging spots
cool dog
bowsie and his glasses - gotta protect those orbs!

look at me!
I am so cute in my shirt!
more naps
another fav place to sleep: on mom (she's so comfy)
