2009 Shepherds Tour of Ireland
Join us as we lead the 2nd Shepherds Tour of Ireland May 15-May 27, 2009.
This is an insiders visit to County Kerry & County Cork Ireland visiting our friends and getting to know the locals. We'll spend one week in Kenmare, 4 days on the Aran Islands, and 2 days in Bunratty.
Highlights include: Sheep farms, castles, island tours, a private tour of a 300 year old knitting mill, dinner with a friend who is a professional lecturer on Irish legends, a ceili with storytellers, music & dancing, a tour of an ancient stone circle and fort, a harbor tour of the Irish coast, learning Irish football with a group of local kids, a visit to a weavers cottage, a party thrown for us at the knitting shop in Kenmare.
We'll be staying at luxury houses right on the ocean and exploring in both small cars and a luxury coach. You must have an interest in meeting the locals, seeing non-touristy things (no Blarney stone!), and be able to walk 1/2 mile over uneven ground.
