Day Five...Half Way

It's hard to believe that after today we are in the last half of our adventure. Every day (barring Day One which we shall never speak of again), has been something beautiful and memorable in it's own way.
We do not have pictures to share today but will catch up tomorrow. We spent the day shopping in Kenmare..which was a complete delight to us!! But since many of our gifts are a surprise..no pictures! I should add, that Shannon is the one taking pics and video's for the blog. We have decided it's easiest for us to share duties..so I, Maureen, write and she, Shannon, adds information as she likes and also the pics and videos. My pics will come after the trip. My images will be edited and used to remind us when we return of just how beautiful this piece of old ground is.
We were just commenting today as we walked into town for dinner, that we could not choose which day we loved more. We have had days of driving through and on top of mountains...times of driving by the sea...we've explored old historical places, stepped into buildings that people lived at the time of Christ and some that hosted knights! Today we took a break, rested and found ourselves walking around in a beautiful village filled with shops, tea houses and outdoor vendors. Totally different than our previous days..but totally wonderful! We've continued to dine well. Tea house for lunch serving quiches and teas. For dinner we ate at Davitt's and had fine seafood and Shannon had lamb liver and onions. Can't say I'd like a whole dinner of it..but it really was wonderful.

We are excited about tomorrow as we go on a boat cruise to see 4 other castles from the view of the sea as well as find some sea lions sunning along the cliffs! We have a couple more shops to get into and a Druid circle to go dance around.

We are thinking of our family and friends each day. Ooooing and ahhhing over trinkets that remind of us each of you. Everyday we laugh at ourselves..and of course others! Shannon is speaking with a lilt in her voice..which makes me laugh. I just concentrate on keeping up with her!

We are tired and going to try and get to sleep before midnight..so sorry for the lack of pics but check back tomorrow and we hope to have history, scenery and dining to share once again!!!
