Send us a textCould Scota, the enigmatic figure from ancient lore, truly be the forgotten sister of Tutankhamun? We're joined by the insightful Luke Eastwood, an author and practicing Druid hailing from Ireland, who has woven a tapestry of history and myth in his latest book, "Scotia, the Lost Sister of Tutankhamun." Luke takes us on a captivating exploration through the intersection of ancient Egyptian history and Irish mythology, challenging our understanding of the connections that may have spanned continents. His unique perspective and rich experiences living across Scotland, England, the U.S., and now Ireland, offer a fresh lens on the evolution of spiritual practices and the courage it takes to question long-held beliefs.Journey with us as we traverse the landscapes of ancient Egypt and the rocky terrain of Ireland, piecing together the story of Scota. Could she have been an Egyptian princess buried in Ireland's Dingle Peninsula? We examine archaeological and DNA evidence that might connect Egyptian dynasties with regions in Europe, unraveling the myths and tales surrounding her possible migration and influence. With personal anecdotes adding vivid color, we discuss the geographical and cultural challenges she might have faced, her potential impact on the Gaelic people, and the tantalizing possibility that Scotland's very name is derived from her legacy.Our conversation takes a bolder turn as we question conventional historical narratives, shining a light on the often-overlooked maritime prowess of ancient civilizations. With insights from experts like Lorraine Evans, we critique the narrow perspectives that dismiss significant evidence of ancient seafaring and exploration. The discussion underscores the importance of challenging orthodoxies to spark innovation and understanding, whether it be through historical revisions or exploring the underpinnings of scientific paradigms. We close with reflections on the transformative power of personal exploration and writing, inviting listeners to reimagine the past and its legacies in our modern world.Support the showFind us at: gxparanormal.com Watch On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@generationxparanormal Listen: • Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/generation-x-paranormal/id1661845577?i=1000666351352 • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6zQmLQ0F78h8KRuVylps2v?si=79af02a218444d1f Follow us on Social Media: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GenXParanormal • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/generationxparanormal/ • Twitter (X): https://x.com/GXParanormal

For this episode of Streets of Your Town, wander with me Nance Haxton to County Kerry on Ireland's west coast, to discover how close Australian and Irish cultural traditions are beyond the musical sphere.Tim Hanafin has lived in Kerry all of his 85 years, in a tiny village called Inch. The town is still known by many as the location where the epic Oscar-winning movie Ryan's Daughter was filmed, putting County Kerry on the tourist trail in the 1970s.Tim is known throughout the Dingle Peninsula as the man who recites poetry from a deep well of decades of learning, with a poem appropriate for every event, whether it be wedding, funeral or spontaneous celebration.When I speak to him in front of a cosy fire at Foley's Bar overlooking the miles of sand dunes constantly evolving on Inch Beach, it doesn't take long for the Australian influence on this far-flung county to appear from his extensive back catalogue of poetry.Tim tells us how he thinks the affinity the Irish have with Australians goes back to the days of British rule, and continues to be expressed to this day.and for more shownotes please go to my substack for this episode at soyt.substack.com

As decarbonization accelerates in many parts of the world, local energy communities and consumers are assisting in the energy transition. In the Dingle Peninsula, Dublin-based non-profit energy R&D institute EPRI Europe and four other Irish institutions are leading a pilot that is testing tools to assist in the reliability, flexibility, and security of the local energy system. In addition to EPRI Europe, the pilot involves four organisations: the DINGLE Hub, MaREI, energy solutions company DCSix Technologies, and Irish energy utility ESB Innovation. This pilot will test innovative techniques that use information and analysis to help the local community produce and manage its own energy more efficiently and reliably, enabling them to become energy self-sufficient. "This pilot is one of six taking place across different European countries as part of the ENPOWER project. As an institution working for the public benefit, EPRI Europe is providing technical support to use cases on local grid flexibility and resilience. By analyzing data from smart meters, electric vehicles, solar panels, heat pumps and other technologies, we are generating detailed energy consumption and production profiles. These insights could help the peninsula optimize energy usage, leading to greater sustainability," said Mário Couto, technical leader at EPRI Europe. Leading the pilot, Deirdre de Bhailís, general manager at DINGLE HUB, said, "We are engaging, sharing information, and co-creating knowledge to activate various types of citizens at scale to become prosumers (electricity producers), adopt new technologies, and engage in local energy communities. For instance, we are working with individuals and energy groups to adopt digital tools that support adjusting electricity usage in response to price signals or grid conditions to optimize the operation of the power grid. In agriculture and tourism, both extremely important sectors on Dingle Peninsula, we are supporting farmers and local businesses to install solar panels and heat exchangers, thus becoming more sustainable. In transport, new electric buses will contribute to reducing private transportation and making travel cleaner." Professor Brian Ó Gallachóir, director of MaREI, said, "We are at a critical stage in the promotion of community-led energy solutions. We need more inclusive and democratic input to ensure the development of new digital and energy technologies aligns with local needs and concerns. In our research, we hope to leverage democratic innovations focused on deliberative engagement and future-oriented approaches to give voice and co-develop solutions with pilot representatives in Dingle." The introduction of new digital tools and energy solutions in tourism, agricultural, and transport sectors could make the peninsula more sustainable and self-sufficient, assisting and accelerating the overall clean energy transition. The ENPOWER (Energy Activated Citizens and Data-Driven Energy-Secure Communities for a Consumer-Centric Energy System) aims to design, develop, and demonstrate Social Sciences Humanitarian driven methodologies, interactive and closed-loop tools and services for energy-activated citizens and data-driven energy-secure communities towards a consumer-centric energy system. The project comprises 28 partners from 13 different countries. It is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe program, under agreement no. 101096354.

In this Film Ireland Podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Eugene O Brien, Writer of 'Tarrac', which is in cinemas from 6th October 2023. Filmed on the breathtaking landscapes of Corca Dhuibhne, Dingle Peninsula, in County Kerry, this award-winning Irish-language film, Tarrac, stars Kelly Gough (Kill Command, Out of Innocence) Lorcan Cranitch (Lakelands, Aisha, Róise & Frank) Kate Nic Chonaonaigh (An Cailín Ciúin, Song of Granite, Shadow Dancer), Kate Finegan (Joyride, Rós na Rún), Rachel Feeney (Belfast, Death on the Nile) and Cillian Ó Gairbhí (Róise & Frank, Foscadh) Producer Clíona Ní Bhuachalla (Seamus Heaney – Out of the Marvellous, The Clinic), writer Eugene O Brien (Eden, Pure Mule) and director Declan Reeks (Pure Mule, The Running Mate, Scúp) began discussions about making a feature film as gaeilge. Eugene states “TARRAC has really been a labour of love for myself, Declan and Clíona and Kerry was absolutely vital to the film. This world-renowned landscape battered by the Atlantic ocean is the home to the unique boat – the Naomhóg. The location has such great identity from the language to the landscape to the characters and indeed the boat itself.” Aoife Ni Bhraoin (Kelly Gough) returns home to help her father Brendan ‘The Bear' O'Briain (Lorcan Cranitch) in his recovery from a heart attack. During this time, Aoife faces the grief of her mother's death that she hasn't dealt with until now. A lot has been left unsaid between her and her father. Aoife reacquaints with a group of rowers and this all-female team, who against the odds, take on a high stakes Naomhóg rowing competition. TARRAC is a drama set at the edge of the world, the coastlines and sea of the Dingle peninsula. A place of wild geography, where the weather and the people have a mind of their own. TARRAC has warmth and a sense of place. An intimate character study of a woman who through a sporting passion finally manages acceptance and love. Laced with humour, heart break and exciting action set against the stunning landscapes and seas of the Kerry Gaeltacht, TARRAC is about daring to care again and learning the power of forgiveness. Tarrac opens in Irish cinemas on 6th October 2023.

I can't think of a better way to learn about the coastal biology of a country than to visit. And so we did! Thirteen Saint Michael's College students joined three professors and we crisscrossed the Dingle Peninsula for two weeks. We learned a lot of biology and also hiked to spectacular locations and even visited a pub or two. This episode gets into some of the cultural as well as biological details of our adventure.

Inch on the Dingle Peninsula boasts one of Ireland’s most spectacular beaches, with three miles of sandy beach. The long, wide beach means that many people park their cars on it. Last weekend, some motorists who did this ended up having their cars stranded when the tide came in. There’s agreement that this should stop for safety and ecological reasons. But where can parking be provided? Máire Ní Riain is with Inch Community Council.

She feels as though Dolly’s Strawberry Pretzel Pie ice cream from Jeni’s is probably a more worthwhile way to spend your money if you can get your hands on the flavor that crashed Jeni’s website twice and eventually sold out. BUSCH DOG BREW CONTEST: Kathleen comes from a long line of Anheuser Busch product lovers, and is thrilled to read a news release that Busch is looking for an official “Chief Tasting Officer” for its popular Dog Brew “beer.” Contest details have been published, and Kathleen urges all Termites with a cool fur pal to enter for a chance at the $20K prize money, free Dog Brew, and pet insurance. “GOOD BAD FOOD”: In her quest for new and delicious not-so-nutritious junk food AND in continuing her search for the best Ranch, Kathleen samples Simply Ranch from Hidden Valley (one of her favorites so far), and Newman’s Own Ranch Dressing, which she thinks is way too tangy for her liking but she absolutely appreciates that sales from all of Newman’s products go to charity. Kathleen finishes the tasting menu with Fruit Loop flavored Pop-Tarts.THE IRISH DOLPHIN RETURNS: As a follow up to Episode 3, Kathleen is thrilled to let listeners know that Fungie the dolphin has been spotted off the Irish coast six months after vanishing from the Dingle Peninsula. “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE” VIDEO SOLD AS NFT: Kathleen continues her new obsession with the non-fungible token industry reading an article disclosing that Chris Crocker sold his 2007 viral video “Leave Britney Alone” as an NFT in order to help fund his transition from a male to female. The video ended up being sold to an anonymous buyer for 18.69 ether, or around $41,000. MYSTERY FLIGHTS: Kathleen reads an article out of Australia where Qantas Airlines has announced plans to operate three domestic mystery flights that explore the country while international borders remain closed.The three dedicated Boeing 737 mystery experiences will include not only a ticket for the flight but also an entire day of activities in a mystery destination, all of which are outside major capital cities.OUTDATED TV’S: Kathleen recently attempted to download an app on her smart tv so that she can stream the Masters golf tournament with her friend Ron White and found out that her tv was too old to access the necessary app. In shopping for a new television in common stores like Target and Walmart, she discovered through discussion with sales associates in those stores that the majority of TVs for sale are 2-3 years old. With the help of a Gen Z’er at Best Buy, Kathleen was finally able to purchase the appropriate television, download the app, and she and Ron had a wonderful weekend watching the Masters, which she concludes with her Master’s joke from her “In Other Words” album. STALIN’S DAUGHTER: Kathleen loves history, and can’t wait to tell her Termites about the documentary “Stalin’s Daughter,” based on the interview "Svetlana About Svetlana." The film tells the fascinating and complex life story of Svetlana Stalin, who defected to Wisconsin during the Cold War. THE DEATH OF BERNIE MADOFF: Kathleen reads an update announcing the death of fraudster Bernie Madoff while serving a 150-year federal prison sentence. Madoff ripped off $65 billion in a Ponzi scheme involving celebrities, billionaires, charities, and retirees, and was arrested in 2008. Kathleen reads an update as to the current whereabouts of his widow, Ruth Madoff, who is living in a $3.8M waterfront home in Connecticut. PAT ROBERTSON DEFINES “THE FINEST” POLICE: Kathleen is amused when describing a recent video where 91-year-old 700 Club host and televangelist Pat Robertson, who is usually police-friendly, denounces the “personality quality” of former Minneapolis officers Derek Chauven and Kim Potter, who have been arrested for crimes involving police brutality. Kathleen laughs out loud when Robertson declares that police forces should be paid a higher salary in order to attract higher-quality candidates, which is a sentiment that her dad has been repeating for decades. If THAT isn’t enough to invest 5 mins to watch the video, Robertson moves on to demonstrate the use of a police taser and then a Glock, which is indescribable. HUNTER BIDEN’S BOOK BUSTS: Kathleen isn’t shocked to read an article advising that Hunter Biden’s confessional book “Beautiful Things” is a complete sales bust. DIGITIZING THE LOUVRE: Kathleen is an avid painter and has a deep appreciation of art, and one of her favorite museums in the world is The Louvre in Paris. She’s been to the museum numerous times and loves to wander the halls scouting out new pieces and also the more famous classics such as The Mona Lisa. Kathleen is thrilled to read that The Louvre is digitizing its entire collection so that the entire global population with access to a computer can experience the joy of the over 482,000 pieces of art, which she intends to take full advantage of. COINBASE APP PUBLIC OFFERING: Kathleen cannot state enough that she is NOT REMOTELY qualified to be a financial advisor, but her obsession with cryptocurrency led her to become a frequent user of the Coinbase app. She’s thrilled to read an article announcing that Coinbase has conducted a successful IPO, which she feels further validates the app’s exchange platform as well as cryptocurrency’s future. ROMAN STATUE FOUND IN BELGIUM: Kathleen reads an article from Italy where off-duty police recovered a stolen Roman statue after noticing it in a Belgian antique shop almost a decade after it was looted from an archeological site. The headless marble statue of a "Togatus," from the 1st century BC, was stolen by unknown robbers about 10 years ago. Kathleen shares with the Termites that one of her top dream jobs would be an Art police officer, and although she would rock the history exams she’s almost certain that she would fail the math and science tests. WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK: Kathleen recommends watching the series “The Serpent” on Netflix, the documentary “Stalin’s Daughter” on Amazon Prime, and “This Is A Robbery: The World’s Biggest Art Heist” on Netflix.

A working windmill and a competition for roses. You can find them both within miles of each other in the west of Ireland. Tralee is where women from around the world compete for the title of the Rose of Tralee every August. Hear where they come from and just how the competition began so many years ago.  And Blennerville, between Tralee and the Dingle Peninsula is where you'll find Ireland's only working windmill. It works to this day, but not more to bring in tourists than to turn out tons of flour. Hear all about the area in Episode 38 of Erin's Isle.

Rollin Butler emailed: "Hi Marc, we watch a PBS kIds animated show called “Molly of Denali”, and they had an episode of Fiddle Playing, “Jigging,” like Irish Step Dancing. I wondered if you have info about the Irish influence on the Alaska peoples, maybe from “Yukon gold Rush.”  Keep up the good work, and don’t let the Naysayers get you down."

In August, 2017 - BCR went to Dublin / Hay-on-Wye / Swallowcliffe / Carlingford / and Brandon on the Dingle Peninsula. We visited pubs and talked to the barmen -- not bartenders -- Pub managers and lovers of Lay Lines and Crop Circles. We met a cute German couple--well she was cute--he was large--friendly--with a mohawky-do -- and not an admirer of our D.Trump -- neither liked the beer at the Journeyman Pub on the Liffey River. But we liked it, and had a great time falling in love with "Smit'ick wit a head a'guinness." See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Chris breaks a promise, Steve visits the Dingle Peninsula, and it turns out it's hard to explain a wax museum on the radio.

But don't miss the pubs.They have some original including one that doubles as a hardware store, one that sells leather goods including shoes, and one that sells all kinds of things and keeps ledgers on what others have sold in the past.   Take a tour of some enduring pubs run by charming people, in Episode 17 of Erin's Isle.

Pulitzer Prize winning Irish poet Paul Muldoon discusses everything from the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland to Rudy Giuliani to what people expect from poetry. Muldoon is the author of over thirty collections and the recipient of numerous awards, including the T. S. Eliot Prize and the Griffin Poetry Prize.

When I am asked to plan a perfect two week trip to Ireland, I recommend Dublin as a base for the majority of sightseeing, with side trips to Killarney, Waterford, Howth, and Limerick, along with tours of the Dingle Peninsula, the Ring of Kerry, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Newgrange.

Anyone considering an Ireland family vacation will be looking for the best things to do in Ireland with kids. This week’s guest has a lot of experience in discovering Ireland for kids. ::: Like what you’re hearing? Then please subscribe, rate & review Epic Education Radio. We would be extremely grateful! iTunes is a search engine as well, and so when you rate and review us, you help others find us. Thank you! ::: Ireland with Kids: Building an Ireland Family Vacation Itinerary Meet Jody Halsted, manager of the Ireland Family Vacations blog and a regular visitor to the Emerald Isle. Jody goes to Ireland with kids every year, and she still hasn’t seen it all. For a country the size of the US state of Indiana, Ireland is a culturally dense place to explore, with plenty of fun for the entire family. In this episode of Epic Education Radio, we discuss the food, the festivals and the fun that Ireland offers to families. Why Ireland with Kids? Ireland is full of fun, exciting and educational opportunities for traveling families. There are castles and stories of princesses and fairies. There are festivals, music, and art. In addition, Ireland has a history steeped in science and literature. Writers, scholars, astronomers and other scientists called Ireland home. Their stories are waiting to be explored in Ireland with kids. Then there are the beautiful nature walks and the filming locations. Ireland’s natural beauty is unique in the world. That’s one reason why movies like Star Wars: The Last Jedi and TV shows like HBO’s Game of Thrones filmed here. In addition to all this, Ireland is safe and full of friendly English-speaking people. Therefore, there is no language barrier for visitors from North America, Australia and elsewhere. Despite this, she says, Ireland family travel is not a focus of Ireland Tourism Board. There are families who want to explore Ireland with teens. There are young parents who want to visit Ireland with toddlers. However, Jody says that the country markets mainly to older travelers and honeymooners. Families just aren’t their target demographic. This is an opportunity that Jody has taken advantage of. With her site, Ireland Family Vacations, she helps families who want to visit Ireland with children get the most out of their time there. In today’s episode, we discuss her travel tips for a great Ireland family vacation itinerary. Listen in for many fun and educational opportunities in Ireland for kids. Best Times to Visit Ireland with Kids Weather-wise, there is no one distinct season to visit Ireland with children. That said, there will be some rain almost every day, so plan your wardrobe accordingly. Even in the middle of summer, you should plan for the chance of wet weather and cooler temperatures. Weather aside, Jody recommended visiting in the shoulder seasons. July and August are peak times. With this in mind, consider visiting Ireland with kids in May/June or in September. During these shoulder seasons, you’ll find smaller crowds and slightly better weather. Events in Ireland for Kids Jody talks about the music festivals and the Christmas Markets in Ireland. Whether you’re in Ireland with babies or in Ireland with teens, there will always be something great to see and do. We also talk about St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland, which is quite different than what many people might expect. Many an Ireland family vacation itinerary includes Saint Patrick's Day in Dublin or elsewhere. Yet you should be aware that it is not the booze-fueled party that you may find in North America. Sure, a lot of bars in the big cities are cashing in on the holiday’s notorious reputation. But you can enjoy Saint Patrick’s Day in Ireland with children without going on a beer-guzzling bender. For many Irish families, St. Patrick'ds Day is a holy day. In fact, for many places in Ireland, the pubs are closed and people are at home having a feast with their families. Food in Ireland for Kids When considering Ireland family travel, many parents want to know about food options. In case you’re wondering, yes, you’ll find lots of potato dishes when you visit Ireland, but as Jody explains, there is much more than that. Most of Ireland is rural, she explains, so you can expect much of the menu items to be local. Local vegetables, meats, and fish, in particular. Picky eaters will find chicken cutlets, shepherd's pie and fish and chips just about everywhere, and menus are clearly marked for allergies. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, she says, just ask. There’s a good chance that they can whip up some standard dishes for you off-menu.   10 Days in Ireland with Kids: Ireland Travel Itinerary Jody has discovered that most people are looking for a nine to ten-day Ireland family vacation itinerary. That's usually five weekdays bookended by two weekends. Most people fly in and out of Dublin. But if you want to see more, she recommends starting in Dublin but then flying out of Shannon or Cork. Dublin with Kids You could spend your entire trip in and around Dublin with kids if you wanted, says Jody. There is so much to do in Dublin with children, but Ireland is more than its capital city! If your Ireland travel itinerary is around ten days, then spend two days or less in Dublin with children. One of her top recommendations here is the Museum of Archaeology. You can be in Ireland with tweens, teens, or toddlers, and you’ll find something interesting here. More recommendations on Dublin for kids in the interview. Cork with Kids or Kilkenny with Kids? After leaving Dublin, Jody says it’s time to make some decisions. With limited time, you may need to decide between visiting Cork or Kilkenny. In Cork, you have the Blarney Castle, the Black Rock Castle, and all of the history of the Titanic’s Voyage. You also have the tour of the Jamison Factory. Whiskey drinker or not, Jody says that this is a surprisingly interesting tour (I know I love visiting similar places). In Kilkenny, you have one of the only round towers where you can climb all the way to the top. In addition, Kilkenny has something special for sports fans: hurling. This Irish sport resembles something between rugby and field hockey, and you can watch a game in Kilkenny. Killarney, Limerick, & Much More From here, Jody describes so many more things to do in Ireland with kids. We talk about the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. She tells me about the Bunratty Castle and its historical reenactments. We also discuss the merits and dangers of visiting Skellig Michael. This is the UNESCO Heritage site where Star Wars: The Last Jedi was filmed, but it's not built for tourism. (Spoiler alert: don’t visit with little kids). There is one of the most information-rich episodes I’ve ever recorded. If you’re planning am Ireland travel itinerary — or know someone who is — then this is the episode for you. I simply can’t write it all down here. Listen in and hear for yourself! Timecodes: In This Episode 02:36 Intro 03:39 Homeschooling 05:27 Why Visit Ireland?

Tune in each week to hear stories and advice from new traveling families, and hear how they've handled various family travel-related issues like education, socialization, working, budgeting, accommodation, road-parenting, safety, technology and more.

We present the second half of our conversation with Peter and Kemberlee from All Ireland Travel (see show notes from Episode 12). B&B Vouchers Vouchers for accommodation at B&Bs (and sometimes hotels) are often part of vacation packages for travel in Ireland, or they may be sometimes be purchased separately. We have never used vouchers on any of our trips to Ireland. We neither condone nor condemn their use. You really have to decide for yourself if you think they would work well for your travel plans. How do you make that decision? Take a look at some of the following sites for more information. On this site, Michele Erdvig (an Ireland Expert from IrelandYes.com) gives readers an interesting take on when she thinks B&B vouchers may or may not be a good value for travel in Ireland. http://en.allexperts.com/q/Ireland-144/2009/2/B-B-Vouchers-Ireland.htm Read this article for a good look at the pros and cons of the vouchers. http://www.dochara.com/save/save-on-accommodation/bed-breakfast-vouchers/ Peter and Kemberlee's favorite places to visit in Ireland: Killarney Countryside Killarney National Park http://www.killarneynationalpark.ie/ The Gap of Dunloe Here, we will make appropriate use of the wonderful descriptions Kemberlee and Peter have placed on their website of places of interest in Ireland. http://www.all-ireland.com/attractions/munster/kerry/gapofdunloe.htm#brandon Here is a general description of the Gap of Dunloe. http://www.irishtourism.com/attractions-ireland/gap-of-dunloe_155224-attraction.htm And the following description of the Gap comes from the Planet Ware website (www.planetware.com). “The western part of the Killarney National Park extends from the Upper Lake to the southwest shore of the Lower Lake by way of Purple Mount (2,698ft/822m) and its northern foothills. This range of hills is separated from Macgillicuddy's Reeks to the west by the rocky defile known as the Gap of Dunloe, best reached from the R562, which follows the north side of the Lower Lake. From the road to the Gap, which goes off on the left just after the golf courses, can be seen Dunloe Castle, set amid trees, and a group of ogham stones (National Monument). It is customary to drive as far as Kate Kearney's Cottage, but from there the climb to the pass (some 2.5mi/4km) is usually continued in a jaunting car, on a pony or on foot. There are five little lakes, fed by a rapid mountain stream. The highest of these is Serpent Lake, into which St Patrick is said to have consigned all the snakes he expelled form Ireland. The mighty rocks bearing the marks of glacial action which flank the gorge give an excellent echo. From the top of the pass (784ft/239m) there are superb views of hills, valleys and lakes in the varied shades of green, yellow and brown presented by the vegetation and the red sandstone rocks.” This little gem is one visitor's description of the walk through the Gap. It's a very wonderful description of most of the walk. We say “most of the walk” because the family in the story didn't walk all the way through the Gap to the Black Valley side. It's a shame that many people don't get all the way through, too, because we really thought that last mile and a half were probably the most beautiful and serene of the whole walk. (Unless you pay them extra, the jaunting cars don't go further than the third lake in the gap, and there's still a couple of miles of gorgeous valley to be experienced from there!) http://www.irelandforvisitors.com/articles/the_gap.htm A thorough description (with photos) of how many tourists make the trek through the Gap of Dunloe and back to Killarney Town each day: http://www.lakehotel.com/Gap_of_dunloe.htm The Black Valley On our visit to Killarney National Park this year, we were determined to walk the Gap of Dunloe, and (thanks to confirmation from Peter and Kemberlee) we decided to start our walk at the Gap Head on the Black Valley end of the Gap. We did this because we had heard stories about how crowded it can get at the other end of the gap where most people begin their journey. We parked next to a little church in the Black Valley and made our way up the switchbacks in the road leading up into the gap. When we arrived at the other end of the gap, we had a lovely lunch at Kate Kearney's Cottage and, as it had begun to rain in earnest, we decided to hire a jaunting car to take us up to the third lake (which is generally as far as they go before they turn around and head back). From there, we continued walking through the rest of the gap and back to our car in the Black Valley. The road down into the Black Valley is not a drive for the faint of heart or the inexperienced driver, but the rewards are well worth it, if you can stomach the narrow, bumpy roads. At the bottom of the drive, you can either turn right toward Lord Brandon's Cottage or left toward the Gap of Dunloe. The drive to Lord Brandon's Cottage is really beautiful (and the road has been repaved beginning at the point where it enters Killarney National Park property) and worth a look! You could park your car at the small lot near the gates at Six Arch Bridge and walk the extra 2 or 3 km to the Gap of Dunloe, and we considered doing that, but decided against it. We were very glad that we didn't have to walk the extra distance at the end of our day, as we were water-logged (despite the proper gear and apparel) and VERY tired from fighting against the wind the last couple of miles! On a fairly nice day, though, it might not have been too bad. We'll never know… Muckross House and Gardens http://www.muckross-house.ie/ We have, admittedly, never visited Muckross House, but it looks to be a lovely period house that has been very well maintained and furnished. We would like to stop in during one of our future trips. Gougane Barra You might not recognize this name at first, but many of you may have seen photos of the fairly well-known oratory of St. Finbarr, which is located on an island in Gougane Barra Forest Park. http://www.coillteoutdoors.ie/?id=53&rec_site=88 http://www.gougane.cork2020.com/ We were quite heartbroken that, due to the late hour of the day when we passed by, we were unable to make the detour to visit. The park also contains the source of the mighty River Lee (which eventually travels downhill to Cork City and out into Cork Harbour). We will be back to visit Gougane Barra! Dublin City Just about everyone who visits Ireland will spend some amount of time in Dublin City. There are many, many worthwhile things to see and do in the city, but you won't need a car. For this reason, we generally suggest to our listeners that they visit Dublin either at the beginning of their stay or at the end of their stay (before they pick up a rental car or after they've dropped it off). It's very easy to get to and from Dublin Airport to the city center, and driving in Dublin is, in some ways, more painful than driving in New York City! An informative website to visit, as one might guess, is http://www.dublin.ie/, where you can plan out your itinerary. Be sure to make note of any festivals or special events that might affect where you can and cannot go. Below are a couple of the bus companies that provide the hop-on/hop-off tours of the city, as was mentioned in the podcast. http://www.dublinsightseeing.ie/  (Dublin Bus Tour) http://www.dublinsightseeing.ie/pdf/tours_08.pdf (Here's where you can download the PDF flyer for the Dublin Bus Tours) http://www.irishcitytours.com/hop_citydublin.htm (Irish Sightseeing Tours - the red and yellow buses) You can also book day tours by bus from Dublin City out to places like the Wicklow Mountains and Malahide and Brú na Bóinne. The Antrim Coast As we have mentioned in previous podcasts, we have not made it into Northern Ireland yet. We would like to make a special trip of 2-3 weeks, in order to give the region the attention it deserves. http://www.northantrim.com/ The following site includes information about Glenarriff, a favorite area that Kemberlee mentions in the interview. http://www.causewaycoastandglens.com/ (Causeway Coast and Glens) The Beara Peninsula (and West County Cork) If you would like general information about the peninsula, consult the following website: http://www.bearatourism.com/ The Beara Way is popular walking route located on the Beara Peninsula. The length of the complete walk is apparently difficult to estimate. Some information indicates the walk is 115 miles, while others maintain that is over 130 miles. In all fairness, there are several splinter routes that go off the main route, so the distance you would go would probably be determined by the number of those splinter routes you explore. Even if you don't get out of your car and walk at all (which would be a real shame, because you'll miss a lot of really interesting sites), the Beara Peninsula offers beautiful landscapes and vistas along the main ring road, and you'll not generally find the number of people and vehicles that you would find on, say, the Ring of Kerry right next door! Dingle Peninsula A good site for information about your trip to the Dingle Peninsula. http://www.dingle-peninsula.ie/ Dingle is also less crowded than the Ring of Kerry, generally, but there are many historical/archaeological sites of interest. As the Wikitravel website describes the area: “The landscape is wild and beautiful from the eastern spine of the peninsula in the steep Slieve Mish (mountain of phantoms) to the western end where the land breaks into a scattering of uninhabited and dramatic islands and cliffs and beaches alternate around the coast. Dingle town (An Daingean) is small enough to walk and big enough to be lively.” http://wikitravel.org/en/Dingle_Peninsula North Clare Doolin “Doolin is a small fishing village on the west coast of Ireland, often referred to as the capital of Irish traditional music.” – this is the description on the Doolin website: http://www.doolinireland.net/. For further information on Doolin and its environs, refer to: http://www.doolin-tourism.com/ The Burren The Burren is basically a geological region of County Clare. http://www.burrenpage.com/ Wikipedia describes it this way:  Its “rolling hills are composed of limestone pavements with crisscrossing cracks known as "grikes", leaving isolated rocks called "clints". The region supports arctic, Mediterranean and alpine plants side by side, due to the unusual environment. The blue flower of the Spring Gentian, an alpine plant, is used as a symbol for the area by the tourist board. Burren's many limestone cliffs, particularly the sea-cliffs at Ailladie, are popular with rock-climbers. For potholers (spelunkers), there are a number of charted caves in the area.” The Burren Centre in Kilfenora is a great place to start your visit to the Burren region. You can view an informative video about the Burren and walk through the exhibition area where you'll get an understanding of how the Burren came to be and what life on the Burren has been like for animals, plants, and man. http://www.theburrencentre.ie/ This is one of our favorite pages about the Burren: http://www.burrenbeo.com/ Derry City, Northern Ireland You may still hear Derry referred to as Londonderry, but most locals simply refer to the city as Derry. Derry has a long and, sometimes, unsettled history. But its turbulent history is always interesting. http://www.derrycity.gov.uk/http://www.derryvisitor.com/ Here is a brief history of Derry (up to the 1920s). http://www.geographia.com/northern-ireland/ukider01.htm A Wikipedia article examines more of Derry's history and geography. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derry Carrickfergus, County Antrim Dobbins Castle (a.k.a. D'Aubins Castle or Dobbins Inn Hotel) A little of the history of the hotel and its ghost(s) can be found at the All Ireland Travel website: http://www.all-ireland.com/accommodations/ulster/antrim/dobbinsinnhotel.htm Glenariff, County Antrim Glenariff, sometimes called the “Queen of the Glens,” is one the famous Glens of Antrim. It is the largest of the glens and was shaped, as were the others, by glaciers during the Ice Age. One of the most popular places to visit in this beautiful glen is the forest park: http://www.irelandholidays.net/English/Activities/Glenariff/Forestpark.htm We hope you enjoyed listening in on our afternoon conversation in Inchigeela. We'll meet you again down the road!

Hello again! Just a quick update to let you know what we've been doing. Day 5 (Killarney) Thursday morning we checked out of our accommodation near Dungarvan/Helvick Head and travelled west to Killarney. There's a national park near the town of Killarney, and the highest mountain peaks in Ireland are located near the park (MacGillycuddy's Reeks). We arrived in Killarney around mid-day, and, even though it was a little early, we decided to check and see if we could get into our B&B, so we'd have less in the car. They were very kind and did let us check in before 2 p.m., as our rooms were already cleaned from the previous night's guests. We got back in the car and decided to drive out to Killarney National Park, mainly to see Torc Waterfall. It was very beautiful (see the photo). We then headed further up the road to Ladies' View, said to be named by the ladies-in-waiting of Queen Victoria as the most beautiful view they experienced on their visit to Ireland in 1861. It is a very spectacular view, and a very scenic drive to get to. (I almost said it was a "lovely" drive; however, because the road is quite narrow and busy with bus traffic, I can't really claim that it was a lovely drive. The drive was quite frightening, actually, but we made it without actually scraping off either of the side-view mirrors!) On our way back to the town of Killarney, we stopped at a couple of spots to take photos of the lakes. At one stop, there was a gentleman named Michael who asked us if we wanted to take a boat ride for 15 Euro each. We respectfully declined his offer as it was getting late, we were hungry, and 15 Eur. seemed a lot for a boat ride.Upon returning to town, we parked back at the B&B and walked to the town center to find something for dinner. We passed a lot of restaurants on High Street, but most of the prices were well out of our range (in the $30-50 equivalent range). We settled on the bar service at a place called O'Meara's. Travis and Lisa had a lovely chicken curry with rice for 10.75 Eur, and Mom and I had the salmon salad for 11 Eur. I got to have my first Guinness of the trip, Lisa got her Smithwick's, and Mom finally got to taste her Irish coffee (she wasn't all that impressed, but now she can say she did it). The food was actually very good, and we were all quite hungry from all the walking we did at the park. Day 6 (Dingle) After a tasty breakfast at the B&B, we headed out to take the tour of Ross Castle on Lough Leane. Ross Castle has been very well restored, and the tour is very informative. We enjoyed the 1/2 hour tour of the tower portion of the castle (you can't go into the rest of it). We were a little sad that we were not allowed to take any photographs inside the castle, but we liked the tour and our guide, Maureen, anyway! At the conclusion of the castle tour, we made our way to the Dingle Peninsula. We stopped at Inch Strand (beach) to have our picnic lunch - we have a picnic lunch every day to save money. Inch is a very long, beautiful stretch of beach. If you've ever seen the film "Ryan's Daughter," part of that movie was filmed on the beach there. It's a beach where many people ride horses (I've heard there are actually races there...), and there were a few there when we first arrived, but they left shortly after our arrival. We walked up to the sea edge for a bit and then headed on to Dingle Town and our B&B for the evening. After a brief chat with our hostess, Angela, and checking in to our comfy rooms, we went back into town (the B&B is about 1 km past the town center) to check out the shops. Lisa was able to cross several hard-to-find items off her shopping list and was a very happy girl!We were going to drive up Connor Pass - since the last time Travis and I visited Dingle Peninsula, it was totally foggy and rainy and we couldn't see a thing - but we decided we would take a chance that the weather would hold, and we'll go over it tomorrow on our way to Tipperary. Today, we went to visit Gallarus Oratory - a very small stone church that was built in the 7th or 8th century (they're not exactly sure). The church was built using a corbelling technique that still keeps the church bone dry on the inside, even in the heaviest of rainstorms! Upon leaving that site, we went to Kilmalkedar, where there's an old church, an ogham stone, an ancient sun dial, and a cemetery. The weather was very cloudy for a good part of the day, but the clouds broke and the sun came out and the day was another beautiful, sunny day! What a blessing! We're ready for some rain about now, though, oddly enough... Again, the restaurants were really quite expensive, so we decided to have a picnic supper as well. We bought a few items at the local grocery store and returned to our B&B to sit on the balcony that overlooks Dingle Harbor. After we finished our cheese and brown bread and an interesting little dessert we found that was supposed to be cheesecake (but had more of a consistency of a thick pudding), we retired to our rooms for the evening.Tomorrow, we finish our tour of the Dingle Peninsula and head for our self-catering accommodation in Tipperary. Until then...Slan!

Today it’s off to the Irish-speaking region known as the Dingle Peninsula. Our neighbor Aine tells us all about her summer school experience there, and she tells us a story that is sure to leave you in stitches.
