Weekend in Ireland: Ring of Kerry

 Camille is fond of photo-bombing.

It was so hard to decide what to do for our last day in Ireland - so many choices! We'd narrowed it down to the Ring of Kerry or the Dingle Peninsula. After our hotel concierge told us that on cloudy days it's hard to see anything on the Dingle Peninsula, we went with the Ring of Kerry. It was a foggy, misty, sometimes rainy day. So pretty, but sometimes difficult to take pictures and not always inspiring for getting out of the car. We did get out of the car long enough for the girls to touch the Atlantic (they've now seen the Pacific, North Sea, Mediterranean and Atlantic) and walk through the town of Sneem and sit by the fire in a cafe, and stop for some brief excursions. It is such a pretty drive though.

We debated on whether late October is a good time to go to Ireland. On one hand, the fall color is gorgeous, some prices were lower and we were able to drive the whole Ring of Kerry without a hint of traffic or crowds anywhere. On the other hand, we didn't get any blue skies for our pictures and some of our activities were limited by the weather. One thing is for sure though, three days is definitely not enough to "do" Ireland.
