It's a Small World: Day One - March 7, 2013
http://mmdempsey.blogspot.com/2013/07/day-one.html
It's a Small World. Wednesday, July 3, 2013. Day One - March 7, 2013. What a perfect first day it was! After a glorious night’s rest, we had some of the fresh baked bread we picked up on our drive over. Like everything in this country, charm and tidiness prevail, so when we stopped at a gas station last night, they were selling breads, pies, and other goodies that were baked by a local woman. We bought some spelt bread with pumpkin seeds, which is delicious toasted with some Irish white cheddar. This fan...

It's a Small World: July 2013
http://mmdempsey.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
It's a Small World. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Day Three - March 9, 2013. We woke up this morning to our first little hint of sunshine! When we looked out the window, we saw it. Peaking through the clouds - albeit intermittently, but at least the clouds were peak through-able. My Leftie, on Hole 4. We decided to take advantage of the weather and play nine holes of golf in the morning then drive over to the Cliffs of Moher in the afternoon. East Clare Golf Village. Much of Ireland has been deforested. We wra...

It's a Small World: June 2013

It's a Small World. Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Traveling Mercies - March 6, 2013. So happy when this arrived. We missed our connection and were initially rebooked on the following day’s flight (as there’s only one flight a day to Ireland) but I was able to negotiate a rerouting through Amsterdam – after a dozen or so transatlantic flights, you learn a trick or two. Luckily it was, so at 7 pm. We set out for a drive across this lusciously green island we’ll call home for the next week. As Ted was negotiati...

It's a Small World: Day Two - March 8, 2013
http://mmdempsey.blogspot.com/2013/07/day-two-march-8-2013.html
It's a Small World. Thursday, July 4, 2013. Day Two - March 8, 2013. At the recommendation of our neighbors back home, we traveled down to Adare. A precious village just south of Limerick. Thatched roof cottages abound, and yellow daffodils brighten up the modest plots of vibrant green “gardens” (the sweet way in which they describe their yards). Flanking the road as you enter the town is the Franciscan Friary (on the grounds of. Adare Manor) and Desmond Castle. It has since been converted into a hotel.

It's a Small World: Homeward Bound - March 5, 2013

It's a Small World. Saturday, June 15, 2013. Homeward Bound - March 5, 2013. A travel blog, something I should have begun years ago, is next on my writing horizon. In keeping with the retroactive theme of my surf blog, this too will require going back in time (at least initially) to capture some important trips. I know, I know – who posts stories from the past, way. In the past, but some of these things must be captured. Almost a year has passed since that blessed day when Ted and I said I do,. Ted’...
