Greetings from sunny Ireland!  Yes, sunny!  It is 7:06 pm, make that 19:06 pm, and the sun is high in the sky!  We were both surprised and delighted to find out that the sun doesn't go down here until 11 pm!  Today we drove from Doolin, our base for the last two days, to past Killarney to Bantry in County Cork back up to Killarney in County Kerry, where our B&B has free Internet access.  So we wanted to say hello and let people know we were alive and well!  (We also had to see how the Celtics fared; Game 7 tomorrow night!)  We have enjoyed the beautiful landscape, which reminds us sometimes of WNY with its rolling hills and sometimes of Colorado with its mountains surrounding the water.  There are a lot of cows and sheep that don't mind being right up against the road.  I think they need a Shannon to keep them on track!  Off to dinner! -- POSTED BY COLLEEN
