Matt is Back from Ireland

(Posted 8/6/2006) - Grandson Matt took two weeks and visited Ireland in July. He and his girlfriend Holly ended up circumnavigating the island, driving about 1000 miles, mostly following the coast-line.

My son Jon says that between them they took 1600 photos (lots of overlap there). Jon sifted through their pictures after they returned and picked out the "best" and put them in an online slide show. On his media page click on the ( Slide-Shows) link labeled Matt and Holly Ireland 06 to start the slide viewer app. There are instructions for viewing large full-size images and starting and stopping the slideshow at the top of his media page.They are posted on Jon's website here .

The slides aren't labelled -- but the photos are beautiful. If you've ever thought of travelling to Eire, take a look at these coastal and scenic images.

Matt and Holly say they really liked the northern counties, and since the hostilities ceased, there has been a lot of tourism in Northern Ireland too.
