Our family did a driving tour of the south of ireland in the august of 2001. It is an absolutly gorgeous countryside, with some of the sketchiest driving ever. really nice people, too. We were lost somewhere, and we pulled into a gas station. we break out the map, and suddenly, we've got like 3 people helping us...we didn't even ask! good people. lots of cows, too, though the beef wasn't that good. good fish, though. really good fish. oh man. in this one restaurant, I had this one fish that was wrapped in bacon with a white sauce... that fish...so good.
