Ireland was beautiful beyond words.
We flew into Dublin and rented another Mercedes (I think Hertz saw us coming)
We immediately drove to Athlone where we spent the first
night with the most wonderful hostess,
Ann Lyons at the Riverdale House B&B
The Riverdale House was beautiful and very comfortable.
Ann Lyons was so nice and treated like family.
