The village of Adare, about 30 miles SW of Limerick, has a row of thatched roofed houses built around 1830. Pretty gardens in each front yard welcome visitors.
The old abbey has pews with "personal kneelers" that belong to parishioners. Better than doing penance by kneeling on the slate floor.
This jolly leprechaun had a twinkle in his eye as he played his accordion in front of the cultural center.
As kids growing up in Roselle, IL, we loved the smell of lilacs . . . we had a hedge of them in the back yard. It's spring in Ireland, and there are lilacs, bridal wreath, tulips, rhodadendrons and wildflowers in abundance!
