OUR FIRST DAY AFTER OUR LONG TRAVEL DAY

Gary sleeping within five minutes of getting on the train!!! Great idea to take the train..........This really was the calm before the storm. 

We arrived 1 hour and 25 minutes early into Dublin.  We had 80 mile an hour tail winds.  So we rented our car and began our journey to Adare.
 Our arrival at Adare Manor.  The place is amazing!! The grounds are absolutely stunning. We are blessed!! Thank you kids for such a wonderful gift!!


A couple of room pictures.  Beautiful!!


The Adare Manor Hotel! We needn't say anymore - it speaks for itself!!

 This is a picture of the back of the manor. Our room is to the right with the window open.  HOT FLASHES in Ireland!!
 These are a c a couple of pictures of St. Nicolas' Church of Ireland.  The top picture you can see a cross in the greenery within the courtyard of the church.  The cross is marked for a dignitary (21 year old) buried 1981. Also toured the church and left special intentions for family members. 

 These pictures are of Adare Village.  See the thatched roof restaurants, gift shops, and of course the most important IRISH PUBS.  Love it.........my first beer in an Irish Pub!!!
 After drinking in the Irish Pub - I needed to go and say another prayer at the Abbey in Adare Village.  Our Lady........
We are now off to take a steam bath and then off to bed early!!! No picture of the later events.....sorry cameras not aloud.  Up early and off to the Cliffs of Moher. 
We absolutely are having a blast and are so thankful!!! Wish you all could be on this amazing journey with us.  Until tomorrow..........Gary & Mickey
