Ireland 2007: Day One - Adare and Killarney

We then headed to the small town of Adare. With thatched roofs on cottages and rows of shops, most of us enjoyed lunch in one of the local establishments. By the way, there was more shopping - and perhaps another Guiness.

We then boarded our home away from home (luxury motor coach) and drove about 90 minutes to Killarney. Folks are now checking into their rooms (ask us about the lights and how many Stonehill alums it takes to find the solution!) and resting before our first communal dinner.

From there some will retire for the evening (we're running on fumes) and others will take a short walk into the heart of Killarney to sample the singing pubs that the area is known for.

The weather today has been PERFECT. After hearing about the summer-long rains, we had not one drop, with very few clouds. The blue sky over the horizon of green pastures and fields made the time in our motor coach fly by.

Everyone sends their love to family back home. A few messages: Do your homework (you know who you are), Pick up your room (you too!), and watch all the Sox and Pats games for us!!

First our morning started with an alarm - or a lack of one; as Mary Jane and Pat's room never received a wakeup call.  So everyone else was on the bus ready to go when they finally got a knock on the door.  What troopers they were, though!  In 15 minutes they were on the bus with everyone and not long after they were able to laugh at the 'chaos' of it all. Our local guide Isabel was just delightful - and clearly has a love for her city.  She tells us that filmmaker Pedro Almodovar is from here as we begin our walk. First we go through the old Jewish center.  Nearly all of the city's buildings are white-washed (originally by the women we hear). We stop at an old Jewish synagogue and learn some history of the area.  Then we stop at the statue of a famous rabbi ( can you name him ?) which legend is that by rubbing his foot and then touching your own head you will get taller and wiser.  most of us did that - some hoping for extra height, others for a...

2011: Day 4 - Vienna

Another great day! We had a 6am wake up call - but it paid off! Our tour director, Robert, secured the first reservations of the day at Shronbrunn Palace - which meant we were the only guests in the Palace for the most part. We went room to room with our own local guide, Gabi, for a nearly private tour! A one-of-a-kind experience for sure. The Palace and Gardens were beautiful. 1,441 rooms and acres and acres of grounds. We learned about Mary Theresa (and all of her 16 children). This was the summer palace for the Hapsburg dynasty. We then switched gears and went to see modern art at KunstHausWien - what a creative artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser was. And a man who epitomized eco-friendly living and work. A very different experience after our tour of the Palace. Next was a driving tour of some of the city's monuments, etc. with a stop for lunch along the way. We ended with a walking tour to additional historic spots and a tour of the downtown palace - the winter residence of the...

Seville Tour II

Following our stop at Plaza Espana in Seville we headed out on foot through the Santa Cruz area and then made our way to the Seville Cathedral . Its Main Mosque and minaret were built using bricks from 1184-1198.  In 1248 the building was consecrated as Catholic with construction from 1434-1517 on the Gothic Cathedral.  It is the most extensive Gothic cathedral all over the world.  It houses the Tomb of Christopher Columbus. Following the guided tour some of us made our way up the 36 ramps to the top of the tower to see panoramic views of this great city!
