Country Road

Of all things Irish, I especially love...

The countryside! Not to forget the meandering roads on which one drives on the opposite side of the road, often hanging on to the asphalt as the earth drops off to the sea below. Or clipping some tall grasses as you lean into the curves that the road offers through fields and pastures from a quieter time. The Irish countryside is quintessentially green and vibrant and full of adventure in a car.

Lexi and I discovered this having hired a car to drive from Northern Ireland to the East Coast of Ireland. For a week we took to the roads with freedom to explore. We stopped to admire things like the Carrick-a-Rede bridge, the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher. But what was in between those attractions was just as magnificant. Grassy hills, grazing sheep, little cottages, warped fences, ancient cemetaries. It was storybook to me.

Country Road, take me home to the place where I belong... IRELAND!!
