You know you are in Ireland when...

The road signs are in gaelic





As well as the radio station and when you go to the servo they are all talking in gaelic

You also know you are in Ireland when its not such a long way to Tipperary after all…



You definitely are in Ireland when the football teams playing this weekend are Tipperary vs Limerick and they are playing in Killarney

When an irish pub looks like this (and not a fake one at our local shopping centres)



But best of all, you definitely know you are in Ireland when door signs say this..



p.s.

By the way, we found the black sheep of the family



Now we are off to England, keep smiling everyone and keep those blog comments and emails coming! :-)

Great to know that Ireland is living up to expectations. You know of course that there are only two types of people in this world - those who are Irish and those who wish they were!!
We have just returned from 5 days in Agnes Water, celebrating our 17th weddng anniversary. It has changes but in the process I felt it had lost some of it's appeal. I'm told there are now 7 resorts but because of coastal and national park restrictions they are about 200-300 mtrs fron the beach and don't have sea views -rather disappointing. Luv. D&L

I know I'm a little behind in catching up with your blog (which I put completely to lack of time to spend on the internet while in Mexico), I am finally catching up and seeing all these awesome photos. It looks like we'll be able to bore eachother for days with all out photos. By the way... is that black sheep photo supposed to be of me???? I can never be too sure.....

See you both soon! Can't wait!
