Before we left Ireland, we wanted to squeeze one last thing in - even Brendan got up early. So we toured the Bunratty Castle and folk park. The castle had been restored and you had a real sense of what it was like to be in an earlier age.
The people of the 12th century must have been pretty small to run up and down those stairs. That circular staircase was about 4 stories high from the main hall. But when you got to the top, the view was amazing.
It was quite a climb, but it was worth it when we got to the top.
So that concludes our trip to Ireland. I think we would all agree that we had a wonderful trip together, that the Irish were helpful, funny, and engaging and that we were quite blessed to go so far and not have a fender bender along the way!
For those of you who traveled with us, thanks so much. We've been touched by your comments (whether posted online or in email).
Love,
The Celtic Quartet
