After we left Jane's in Chicago we boarded a plane to Dublin Ireland with our Chicago friends Joe and Char.  We actually bought out tickets last June.  This trip had been in the planning for almost a year.  Joe and Char have been to Ireland several times and are familiar with the country.  Both Joe and Char have family there.  Char planned our trip and booked the hotels, restaurants and tours.  She did an amazing job. It was like having our own personal tour guide. It was so much fun to share this experience with them.

We met Joe's cousin Terry in Ennis. He took us to lunch at the Dromoland Golf Course Country Club.  His son-in-law joined us.  It was very nice meeting Terry.  The unique thing about Terry is that at the age of 19 he was discovered singing in Ireland and was invited to sing at the White House for President Nixon. How often does that happen!  I would have liked to have heard Terry sing.  Even though retired Terry still makes singing appearances occasionally. The Dromoland Golf Course was amazing.  There is a castle on the grounds and the course has beautiful rolling green hills with streams and natural settings. 

We went to so many different places that I need time to get my pictures together and to digest everything we did. I will post our events in sections and not necessarily in order.
