Killarney, Ireland

Located in the southern part of the country, approximately 2 hours southeast of Doonbeg, Killarney is a beautiful town that reminded me of the mountains of North Carolina.

 

 

A first for me:  a good picture from an airplane window.

 

 

The main square at the town center.

 

 

I visited here in late May, yet note the gear AND blankets… bit chilly!

 

 

 

 

Gorgeous views of the mountains from Muckross Estate.
