With Love from County Kerry: Part 2

Tuesday, November 26

Our 2nd day in County Kerry we got up early for a Jaunting Car (horse & carriage) ride through the Gap of Dunloe (a mountain pass with fabulous vistas.) Then we took a bit of a drive to Blarney Castle and the Jameson Distillery.




While we were waiting for the rest of the Wozniak Clan to arrive the Jaunting Car drivers gave the kiddies horse rides.

This was our day to explore the Ring of Kerry.

That about does it for pictures of the Irish Countryside segment of our trip. Today is Sunday. We have spent the last two and a half days in Dublin. We just saw the majority of the Wozniaks off on their way back to the States. Justin, Gracie, and I will be on our way to Rome in a few hours. Can't wait to see our dear friends, The Driessens.
