Since 2015 Don McAndrews has traveled to Ireland every year, sometimes twice a year, except for the two COVID years. The countryside is truly beautiful and the terrain is diverse and spectacular. Dublin is a wonderful city offering something for everyone. The Irish Sea (the water between England and Ireland) provides lovely beaches and beautiful vistas. South County Dublin has a curious island barely off shore and a tall hill overlooking it, from which you can see the coast of Wales on a clear day. Southwest of Dublin are the beautiful Wicklow mountains and stunning lakes. Farming is abundant all over the island. Wexford to the south is home of the world’s oldest lighthouse in continuous use. The Wild Atlantic Coast in the west has spectacular views from tall cliffs pounded by waves. Galway in the west has a section dating back to Roman times in contrast to its high-tech companies. Belfast to the north is where the Titanic was built and much of the Game of Thrones was filmed. And in the center of it all are structures constructed before the Egyptian Pyramids. Join Don for a tour!
