I got in yesterday and was exhausted because for once I couldn't sleep on a plane. So after I finally managed to locate the B&B, name of Elmdale in the village of Barefield, in the town of Ennis, I went to sleep. I did manage to get a cute picture of a sheep and her two lambs, one white and one black before I got to the B&B. Oh yeah, I'm in the public library because it's free access here. I'll have more details tomorrow because I'll remember to put the notebook in the car. Today I'm going to go shopping in Adare and then take a trip down to the Killarney national forest. Tomorrow I'm off to see the Cliffs of Moher. After that it's a trip up the coast to Letterkenny where I'll visit the Glenveagh national park and some other sites in County Donegal. I won't be posting any pics until I get back to the states.

One small humorous note.....I ate dinner at a restaurant/pub down the street from the B&B where as I was having a lovely meal of Seafood Chowder and Bread pudding (both very tasty), I heard a crack and turned to see the candle on a table (behind and over from where I was sitting) with a really high flame and wax running across the table. I looked around to see if anyone else in the room had heard or noticed, nope, so I got up to find the waitress and one of the guys at the bar told me, 'the loos over there'. I told them I was looking for the waitress and as she heard me she came out from the kitchen and I pointed to the table. She swore in great Irish fashion and dashed over to take care of it. Then all the men at the bar decided to get involved. Quite an evening.

Great to hear that your Ireland adventure has begun. You screwed up at the pub last evening!! You could have handled the situation yourself and would have been a town hero for saving the pub from burning down. Oh wait, where you concerned that they might have thought that you where an American terrorist sent to burn down the pub and destroy the towns economy?

Anyway, it sounds like you are off to a great start. And pictures of sheep are fine, but us lonely guys back in the states would really appreciate some pictures of some other Irish scenery - hint, hint!!

Enjoy and be safe.
