Visiting KenmareWhat to see and do in Kenmare, IrelandKenmare, the city at the crossroads. The city of Kenmare is a very busy market town, known for its fertile plains and valley that are extremely beneficial for the farmers that live there. However, Kenmare is also the city that is noted on two of the main tourist routes in Ireland, the Ring of Beara and the Ring of Kerry.

When we finally got to Kenmare, we found one of the town parking lots and decided to take a short snooze to re-energize us. Check in at our B&B was supposed to be 4-6 pm and it was only 3:30. So I set the alarm on my phone and we leaned back our seats in the car. I’m not sure I actually slept much, but we both felt much better afterward.So then we walked to Virginia’s Guesthouse, where we would be staying for the next three nights. It was located on the very picturesque main street of town. We were greeted by one of our hosts, Neil, who welcomed us to winter in Ireland! Did I mention that it was cold? And windy? And rainy? It felt like winter in Seattle. But Neil got us quickly settled in, and took great care in explaining how to order breakfast, use the wireless, etc. Then he asked our...

It was very interesting!Read More Travel ...

Picnic time

GO IRELAND: Pack the sandwiches and lemonade. LORRAINE COURTNEY lists her favourite secret spots for that quintessential summer activity, a family picnicUrban escapeWhile Dublin’s fair city has many famous treats, pleasures and tourist traps that are more hype than substance, it also has the odd secret garden to picnic in. St Kevin’s Park on Camden Row used to be the graveyard to the ivy-strangled church at its centre. Nowadays, it’s a charming little park that is almost always empty.Some say that the park is haunted by the agitated souls of those folks whose gravestones have been moved to the edge of the now manicured lawns, but it’s hard to...
