Ireland

Here are a few pictures of my trip to Ireland.  I only visited the southeastern part to minimize time on the bus or train.

 

A view on the cliff walk by Howth (north of Dublin). The morning I spent on this walk was one of the best things I did on my trip.


the River Barrow outside of Carlow

A Polish grocery in Wexford. Ireland has sizable immigrant populations from other European countries in some of the cities I visited. 


A Ferguson tractor at the Irish Agricultural Museum on the Johnstown Castle grounds. Harry Ferguson, inventor of the Ferguson tractors, was born in Ireland. This museum was one of the most interesting ones that I visited on my trip.

 
One of the clocks at the Irish Museum of Time in Waterford. There are over 600 clocks, and soon they are adding hundreds of cuckoo clocks to their collection.

It was fun to learn about the country of Ireland firsthand.
