Just a note to let you know that we haven’t forgotten you all! We have had very inconsistent Internet access (even in the places that claimed to have broadband, WiFi, or an Internet cafe in town).
We are taking notes and gathering information and photos to share with you, but we won’t be able to do that until as late as when we get home in June.
Stay tuned…

We’ve arrived in Ireland!
by
Just posting a quick note to let you all know that we’ve arrived in Ireland!. We drove quite a bit yesterday, traveling down to the ring of Hook drive, then toured Hook Head lighthouse. We’ve got some great photos of the area and audio from the guided tour there that we hope to post within a few days. We also walked around Duncannon fort and Dunbrody abbey, then took a drive through the Comeragh mountains and then back to our self-catering accommodation near Dungarvan. Our internet connections are somewhat sporadic, so our uploads of new podcasts are going to lag behind a bit, but we’ll save up anything we don’t immediately post for later shows.
