- A river in Killarney National Park where I had the strangest feeling I was being followed by leprechauns and faeries. (http://www.timelessmyths.com/celtic/faeries.html)
- The town of Kinsale in County Cork. I painted this ten years ago and it is now hanging in a home in Dublin, Ohio. Home of the largest Irish festival in the Country. (http://dublinirishfestival.org/)
- The peace line in Belfast, in the North of Ireland. Somewhere on that wall bears my name, along with a great man I know who fought for the Irish cause to bring about a peace. (http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/jan/22/peace-walls-troubles-belfast-feature)
- Ha’Penny Bridge in Dublin. Named after the English currency of a half penny, anyone crossing the bridge had to pay a half penny to use the bridge to cross the river Liffey. (http://www.lonelyplanet.com/ireland/dublin)
- Bantry Bay in County Cork. I stopped into a pub along my travels through Bantry Bay and ordered the seafood chowder (I lived off of this stuff while I backpacked the country) and it was amazing! I will have to do more research some day…yummy! (http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/irish_fish_chowder_with_08587)
- Kinsale, County Cork is a fishing town and I really enjoyed this lovely little colorful seaport town and all it’s people. (http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Ireland/County_Cork/Kinsale-295181/Things_To_Do-Kinsale-TG-C-1.html
