Ireland - April 2022
Go ahead and tell me this isn’t a gateway to the faerie realm. (I didn’t test it, wasn’t brave enough.)
Ireland had been on our list to visit for a long time, in part because everyone who goes to Ireland cannot stop talking about how amazing of a time they had. When the Covid lockdowns finally began to loosen a bit, we booked a trip to Dublin, and from there, rented a car and drove all over the southern portion of the island. If Covid was a concern in Ireland, you’d never know it for how packed the bars were, though.
