August 7, 2013. Kenmare, Ireland — We’ve been here just two days and three expectations have been confirmed; the scenery is beautiful, the people are friendly and driving is a challenge. And one big surprise — the food is outstanding.

For now, just a few photos. I’m exhausted and about to go to bed. Details to follow in the next day or two.
