On Monday morning twenty of us chose to board the bus for the day to travel the 125 mile round trip route called the Ring of Kerry. The day was perfect Ireland weather, a bit overcast but mild in temperature, and the landscapes were beautiful. Despite the length of the route we never traveled for more than 20 minutes at a time without stopping to take pictures, sightsee or explore the countryside. One of our first and favorite stops was at a small sheep farm where a wizened, old gray haired shepherd gave us a sheepdog demonstration. We were very impressed with the precise obedience and eagerness of the dogs.
Half of our route ran along the coast of the beautiful Atlantic ocean, and we stopped once to walk the rocky beach. The views along this drive were incredible and awe inspiring. We stopped at multiple overlooks to observe the stretches of beaches and mountains, landscapes as far as the eye could see. At one overlook we stood in awe and acknowledged that pictures could not do justice to the beauty before us. As a group we broke out into a verse and chorus of a worshipful rendition of How Great Thou Art. At the end of the trip we all agreed that anyone who didn’t travel the Ring of Kerry seriously missed out on some of the most beautiful views in Ireland.
