Leaving the Comfort Zone: Ireland Day 1 Cont'd: Kenmare

3/11/07 News & Notes from Sarah:

What's up with taking so much time between posts?!?!

I hear this question ALL the time... so I thought I'd take a minute to answer.

I will admit to putting this little project on the back burner, whilst focusing more on several others. One of these actually is a different blog - a daily photo journal I post from my cell phone called Serendipity On-the-Go.

Perhaps the most exciting is a viewing of my photographs I'm going to have at The Grind, a Sunnyside coffee house, starting on April 14th. For more details, check out the Events Page on my website, which has been updated with new photos as well.

However, as you can see from today's post, we aren't nearly done with our adventures from Ireland & after - so please check back, we hope to be posting more regularly soon!

Ireland Day 1 Cont'd: Kenmare

Eventually we made our way down the Western edge of Co. Kerry to the town of Kenmare. The town itself reminded Sarah very much of Shepherdstown, WV, where she went to college.

We stayed at Virginia's Guesthouse, on the main drag. Though just a moderate guesthouse, we ranked this as the best place we stayed the whole trip. They were so lovely, and the breakfast they served us on our first real morning in Ireland was amazing.

We spent most of the evening in Kenmare wandering about town, checking out a few pubs and their menus. We had our first Irish Guiness at O'Donnabhain's, ate a bit here and there, and finished off our dinner at Davitts.

The next morning we had the incredible breakfast including Sarah's scrambled eggs with fresh salmon and fresh squeezed juice, followed by packing to the comforting sounds of the Dukes of Hazard.
