Ireland

A Little bit of Heaven

Ireland is one of the smallest countries in the world, being roughly the size of West Virginia, and no matter where you stop, you are never more than 70 miles from the sea. Yet this wee country is rich in history, culture and mystery. Come, take a short journey into myth and legend, to Ireland.

The Emerald Isle takes its name from the lush, rolling countryside kept vivid green by almost daily rain, usually with a magicial rainbow in tow.

Ireland is made up of four provinces, Ulster, Connacht, Leinster, and Munster, which are divided into thirty-two counties. Six counties in Ulster make up what is Northern Ireland.

All this travel making you hungry? Step into the kitchen for a bite.
Ireland is rich in legends, read some of my personal favorites, including the legends of the shamrock and the Blarney Stone.
Dedication to a special friend
Read the tragic story of the children of Lir; a most beautiful and haunting tale.
