Destination: Ireland

There are [114] stories and [2799] photos from Ireland

It's said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten, and for once the blarney rings true. The Irish landscape has a mythic resonance, the country's history is almost tangible, and its people seem put on earth expressly to restore faith in humanity. The weather may sometimes give you the impression that you're swimming through an airborne ocean, but the truly luminous greens, luxuriant wildflowers, and afternoons spent holed up in riotous pubs will more than console you for the webbed feet you'll need to grow.

Dublin

Wed, 28 May 2008 | By all_powered_up | Views [20]

For one night only...with the time difference from New York it became one night and 3 days.  36 hours without sleep, continual rain, a pint of Guinness or 3, and so it's fair to say Dublin is a bit of a blur.  I remember talking politics with a lady ... Read more >
