Ireland
I have been fortunate to visit Ireland many times and I am always impressed by the people and their hospitality. I also really enjoy driving around the country and seeing the many beautiful landscapes it has to offer. Most of this Gallery was created from my trip to the Emerald Isle in the Summer of 2017 when I had the chance to visit the Southwestern part of the country. I plan on returning some day to visit the Northeast.
