Favorite Thing: This area looks so beautiful to US today...
Fondest Memory: ...But it was NOT ALWAYS like this, as the area is almost unfertile, lots of stones and just a bit of soil in between, NOT good enough to grow wheat,potatoes or vegetables

Interesting tips about the Burren. | psytek Thu Aug 28, 2008 12:08 UTC
how to get there when you lost the last tour bus? | tommymet Thu Apr 24, 2008 23:38 UTC
when were you last there, 1962? I was there in the spring of 2008, it was nothing at all like that. Large ferry that boarded from the pier. | traveldave Fri Jun 30, 2006 18:55 UTC
In its own way, that is a beautiful area, despite its stoniness and lack of trees. |
