Ireland 2025, Part One

This past August marked my third trip to Ireland, and yet again, it was absolutely wonderful. There are a great many stories to tell, and a lot of photos, so I’m dividing this into two rather long posts. This post covers the first week of my trip, when I was on my own; the next post will cover the 2½ weeks I spent with friends who wanted to share with me their favorite spots in Northern Ireland. (Hint: it was fantastic!)

The first week of my holiday was both slow and full, and my favorite part was all of the warm, friendly people I met along the way, each with his or her own fascinating story. What an amazing gift it was to spend time with all the remarkable people I met on this journey.

Road Trip, Day 1

We left Bize this morning just as the sun was starting its day, found pockets of rain and traffic, and arrived in Rodez shortly after 10:00. Maryse and Claude wanted to see an exhibit at the Musée Fenaille, and we thought we’d also explore the town a bit and have lunch before heading to our hotel in Saint-Geniez-d’Olt.
