Ireland II

Ireland is full of history and the people themselves know it all. Run into anyone in a pub and they will talk you ear off, about their rich history.  Irish history has it all, Vikings- medieval times, famine, religious turmoil, wars, death--massacres, assassinations, slavery (not exactly what your thinking but still..,) revolutions, freedom, and lush green fruitful land. Even though it was cold and rainy you can see the bountifulness of it all. Its beauty shined through..... I loved my trip and want to go back, but maybe in the summer. My last post got a bit lengthy; sso I posted the pics here. Enjoy!
