Irish Travelers

We have been busy these last two days going first to Dysart O'Dea Castle and Lake Inchiquin. For painting. Both were beautiful sites and the artists produced some lovely work. A picnic lunch with coffee in china cups was enjoyed before traveling to the lake for a bit more painting . The wall is filling up!! We returned to Keirans Kitchen for dinner, the place we ate first....salmon and their own brews.

Today we traveled to Kinvara and it's harbour for the day. We shopped the market then began to work breaking for lunch individually. A quick stop into the BnBs then off to dinner at Cullinans Seafood in Doolin for what some called the best dinner yet.

Everyone is having a great time...except for bird poop on Gretchen's painting today!!!!
