I just got back from my trip to the British Isles and Ireland and I have to say that the two most beautiful places I've seen were Scotland and Ireland.
There is a song about the forty shades of green in Ireland and after having seen the Ring of Kerry in the sunlight, I agree. This is indeed a land of beauty.

Hey Chris...I agree with you about Ireland. Been to the West many times. Particularly Clare. But been to Kerry and Dingle too. It may seem odd, but I like Dublin too. A great repository of literary greatness. Shaw, Joyce, Wilde, Keats...the list goes on and on, and they were all there in Dublin making their writing. Very cool. I've been tinkering with a Davecki novel where he stumbles on to a cult selling pre-Christian Celtic artifacts on the black market to finance their goddess worship. Trust you're recovered from the jetlag.
Hi Chris...I typed "K" when I was thinking "Y" as in Yeats, not Keats. Perhaps I got it corrected soon enough to prevent some many Irish writers from turning in their graves. My bad.
Hey Mike,
If you have Mr. Keats and his brother together, you'd have a pair of Keats.
You are right about Dublin though. I think if I was there without 37 high school students and had the time to explore I would have really enjoyed it.
That sounds like an interesting story line. You should persue it.
It was beautiful there...Dublin I'm not too sure about since I couldn't see without windshield wipers on my glasses, getting pick-pocketed or screamed at by strangers. I'm hoping it was the 37teenagers that gave me such an impression...maybe if it was just adults it would have been better. The south of Ireland though...paradise!
