See Ireland as it's meant to be seen... leisurely.

    Too often when we travel we take our fast pace lifestyles with us.   We actually read books on how many cities or countries we can see in see in how few days.  Instead some people have found another way to see Ireland.  The meandering rivers flowing through the laid back land of Ireland is particularly suited to this method of travel.  This lens is focused on a slower, richer way of visiting the small towns along the banks of the Shannon and Erne rivers of Ireland, at your own pace.  I'll be adding pictures from my trip there this May. 

Here's a link with details on a great company for everything you need to know to hire boats for cruising Ireland: Cruise Ireland

It seems like everywhere you look there are castles and ruins of the famous round towers. This is Castle Island on Lough Key. There will be endless photo opportunities as you cruise the river Shannon, both on the river and onshore.
