Fascinating Ireland!




















Hello out there! We are only in Ireland for a couple more days, so though you'd like to see some snapshots...Here is Christy trying to learn cooking from Faith...and the little one is lovely Ropa, wonderful people to be staying with! Joseph and I took a road trip to Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula and Killarney... Then we went up to the cliffs of Moher in County Clare, and were there by ourselves for the sunrise...(cliff photo). The cool shaped stone building is Gallarus Oratory, a 1000 year old church built by monks on Dingle! The guy with the Kerry hat is a fine example of how excited everyone is about Rugby here. Then the photo of Joseph by the water is at the Place where Brendan set voyage to bring the gospel to the unknown land. The sepia photo of us is next to some

surviving bee-hive houses that look like homey places to live.

The boat is in Killarney Nat'l Park where we got close to a grazing deer.

The sunsets and sunrises are glorious when you can spot 'um.

Some tips for driving on the one lane Irish roads that are actually two-way...Keep a look out for tractors, farmers, walkers and painted sheep, honk around blind corners watch out for rabbits, and don't forget to pray.



Off to England next..willbe in touch.

we are well and in joy.

Sincerely, J and C

Wow, looks like you had an amazing time on your road trip. The history there of those radical celtic monks is pretty inspiring.

Did you pick any wild Dingle berrys?

Love ya!!
