Our trip to Ireland ...
September 2012
We took a 15 day tour of Ireland with our good friends Paul and
Gail Ferry. We traveled with a tour group and had a great
time. We took a total of over 1400 pictures during the
trip. Due to the large number of photos, I have broken the
trip down, basically by days, with a page devoted to each.
Some of the pictures were taken from the bus so they are either
fuzzy due to the motion of the vehicle or obscured due to rain on
the windows. All things considered, we had great weather,
for September in Ireland!
