Monday, March 16th we began our Brendan Tour, the Irish Jaunt. This was a short 5-day, 4-night tour of the southwest of Ireland. The tour actually began Sunday afternoon with a city tour of Dublin. A 2-hour tour in which we visited St. Patrick's and Trinity College to view the Book of Kells -- an 800 year old manuscript. Already we could see that the city was starting to overflow with visitors for the upcoming St. Patrick's Day.
Picture of Trinity College below. As we would be returning to Dublin later in the week -- I figured I would take more pictures then.
Passed by the Rock of Cashel. Our tour didn't stop for a visit but there are tours which include it; or if you do a self-drive it is a location you can visit.
As we drove through Ireland, we quickly came to understand why Ireland is called the Emerald Isle. Here it is the middle of March and everything is green as can be!
