Three women, Arlene, Denice and Ann set out to celebrate Arlene's seventy fifth birthday by exploring the highlights and heritage of Ireland. Each of them can trace family members back to Ireland. After this first trip they vowed it would not be the last, as they quickly became fascinated with the people, culture, and history of Ireland. They were enthralled with how every Castle told a story of long ago. We explore Irish mythology including stories of giants and fairies. These tales and themes have continued to develop over time in the living folklore of the country. We were charmed and delighted by the friendly locals who regaled us with their stories. Everywhere we stopped The Irish people were truly a joy to spend time with. Above all else is the wonderment of centuries old ring forts, grave sites and architectural wonders. One thing we wanted to explore was the Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge. Unfortunately, the wind was not cooperating and the bridge was closed the day we were there. We did however get to wander in the Giant's Causeway and we spent time admiring the Italian gardens on Garnish Island.
