Repost: Roadtrip to Co. Kerry, Day 1

For whatever reason, it doesn’t seem that this post from Sunday was sent out to email subscribers, so I’m reposting it…

The road trip has begun! The destination: County Kerry. My friend CJ and I got a bit of a late start out of Dublin, but we couldn’t have asked for better conditions… blue skies with puffy summer clouds, relatively light traffic, and gorgeous scenery. My posts for the next few days will be mostly photos.

The Barack Obama Plaza, a motorway service area in County Tipperary beside the village of Moneygall, where President Obama’s third great grandfather lived before emigrating to the US in 1850.
