Bantry House and Gardens in Bantry... one of the stops on our Biking Ireland trip.
Hint: your van should NOT look like this after your food buy on prep day. Boo.
Hey, hey! An old crumbling church and graveyard in Ireland. Wow, thats totally different. This one is right outside of Kenmare, my home.
Ce moi... riding the backroads to Kilgarvan right before I got chased by a sheep dog that I had to spray with my water bottle while I was riding.
Eoin and I at the Irish wedding.
Post trip Spenser (middle) and Scotty (right) and I had wine and whiskey. To celebrate. To unwind. Helpful hint... wine and whiskey do not go that well together. Yuck.
I got them all right! Who knows you better than your MUM! Baa, Baa black sheep have you any wool? Yes sir and a dog that will chase you down the hill! But you are such a big deal that I am sure you could dance an Irish jig while you are riding and have “craic” all at once. Heah, lots of gals would die to be in your bike shoes with leading only with males! Enjoy your 14 days off with reading and swimming and yoga and baking! Love ya and…. Love your blogs!
