Ireland – Day 1 – Ennis
Our plane made its approach into Shannon this morning as the sun rose and the summer solstice occurred. I’m not too crazy about over night flights. Luckily we were able to get our cute little car (a Nissan Note) and head to our hotel in Ennis. After an early morning walk around town, we took a much-needed nap at the hotel (well a nap until Kev sat bolt upright in bed and yelled “what time is it????”)
Lunch was at Knox’s Pub (mmm SmIthwicks) where we watched a game of Gaelic football then we toured the Ennis Friary, the ruins of an 13th century Franciscan friary. One of the staff came out and took our picture together, and was able to give us a mini-tour of the site. We loved how she explained the “Ecce Homo” on the site and how the site would have looked during the 1500s during early mass.

Looks like you’re having beautiful weather. I think all the rain that Ireland is traditionally supposed to get is over here on this side of the Pond. That’s OK, the vacationers should have the nice weather.
