Kerry

I fell in love with Kerry this weekend. Kerry is a county in southern Ireland that is absolutely gorgeous. CEA had organized a weekend away for us, so early Friday morning we all traipsed down to the bus stop to begin yet another adventure. Six hours and three buses later, we were at our destination. Kerry was beautiful. We were on a bus tour, so a lot of our time was spent on the bus driving the famous route the "Ring of Kerry", but it was worth it. Not only was the scenery amazing, but the little towns we passed through were perfect as well. Our tour guide was from the area, and since the towns are so small she was able to tell us everything about everyone. She passed the time by telling anecdotes about her family and pointing out which house belonged to who. The night time entertainment was pretty good as well. The first night they taught us how to do traditional Irish dances at a ceidlidh, which was interesting to say the least. Let's just say that Americans aren't quite cut out for it. The second night we got to meet members of the local Gaelic football team (coolest sport ever, coming from a non-sport girl) and compete in a table quiz (which is a popular game here in pubs, and is a type of trivia game). To top it off, for the majority of the weekend we had perfect weather and beautiful fall colors. It was great!
