We bid farewell to Ireland in the morning with many wonderful memories. Chief among them are:

watching the peaceful mares and their foals, a reminder that nature goes on in its own way and time, regardless of the petty stresses of our all too human lives;

the exciting urban vibe of Dublin and our plans to return one day soon;

the surprise of a small hawk’s silent swoop down and on to my wrist;

the beauty of Dromoland castle;

and so much more.

On to Scotland in the morning.
