Ireland ~ the Emerald Island

Ireland is green! 
Everywhere you look, it is rolling green hills and lush vegetation.
Beautiful!


We drove to the Rock of Cashel in the county of Tipperary
It is also know as Cashel of the Kings and St. Patrick's Rock.


Built in the 1100's 



St Patrick introduced Christ to the King of Munster here in the 5th century!


the cute windows in the chapel

the entrance to the cathedral


It is very big 




The chapel.
Very pretty in painted stone. 


Inside, their dining room


The Queen 


St. Patrick's cross


The gorgeous countryside

 
 On to Dingle. We found a great restaurant that 
only sells the local, freshly caught sea food.
Each meal was fabulously delicious!



My delicious sole

Jan with her scallops

Elwood with his fish pie

and Terry with his Atlantic salmon


On one of the buildings.  
Yes, the area is old
Top language is Gaelic, then English


In our walk, we saw a sign for: 
And were told that the Irish really like Tim Hortons!
