Description

See the description of this picture below, but I like this picture so much, I just had to "paint" it in Photoshop.

On our walking adventure in Ireland, we had to cross several creeks, and this one wins hands down the award for being the most picturesque. (And gets a thumbs up for keeping my feet dry!) The top of the big stones were actually scored by some thoughtful person to provide better traction as we trekked across this pretty stream. I particularly like how the moss clings to the sides of the rocks...

My wife & I, along with her sister, took a week long vacation to Dingle Island, Ireland. This wasn't our ordinary trip, in that it was a " 2 boot walking tour." 2 boots is a way to describe the difficulty of the hiking. (2 boots is harder than 1 boot, but not as hard as 3 boots.) We hiked all over Dingle Island with day packs, and the tour guides would shuffle our luggage each day to a new B&B further down the trail. We dined sumptuously each night in a local restaurant, and there is more than one bar in Ireland to quench your thirst. Each successive day of the 5 day trip got a bit more difficult, as we walked further each day, and had a higher elevation gain each day as well. By day 5, several of our group had fallen out. It was a lovely country, filled with lovely people, and we'd love to return.
