“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” -W.B. Yeats
October 10-17, 2024
Join me on a journey to Ireland and experience all this magical country has to offer! We'll start in Dublin, the capital and home to centuries of history. There is a reason Ireland is known as the land of Saints and scholars! From Dublin, we'll make our way to Killarney, a charming town full of Irish hospitality and home to the famed Ring of Kerry. Next, we'll take a scenic drive to Galway, a vibrant city with a lively atmosphere. Along the way we will stop to take in the breathtaking views of the Cliffs of Moher. After a day in Galway, we'll head to Belfast, Northern Ireland, a city with a unique blend of cultures and rich, recent history that we will learn about during a Black Taxi Political. We'll end our tour back in Dublin for a final night of fun - or craic as they say in Gaelic. Pack your bags and join me on this amazing adventure to the Emerald Isle.
