Leaving the Comfort Zone: Ireland Day 2: Road to Blarney

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 2: Road to Blarney

On the drive from Kenmare across the middle of SW Ireland to Blarney Castle, Sarah was still getting used to driving on the wrong side of the road. Yet every few kilometers she was dying to pull over and take photos. Only once did she actually succumb to the urge, though - and stopped at the top of someones' driveway, which overlooked the River Lee.

It was almost too easy to take beautiful photographs of the scenery.

We did make one other stop along the way, in the town of Macroom, as Sarah was trying to find batteries for her camera.

So, natuarally, we took in a bit of the scenery in town.
Unfortunately, we never found Sarah's batteries, but we did enjoy the stop.
Can you believe this is the town's information center? Beyond this, the castle in Macroom leads back to the public park. How cool would that be?
