Sheep Dogs and Stained Glass

Monday, September 16, 2013

On our last day in Ireland we took it pretty easy. We visited the lace museum, took a look inside local Catholic and Protestant churches, did some final shopping, and went to a sheep ranch for demonstrations of sheep dogs in action, and sheep shearing. The dogs were amazing. You can tell they absolutely love herding the sheep. Forty or so sheep were no match for five well-trained sheep dogs. One of the dogs – Casey – greeted everyone, and hoped each of us would rub her belly. Most of us did. After an afternoon nap the four of us went out for a nice Irish meal at our favorite pub. Tomorrow we fly home. What a wonderful and satisfying trip it has been!
This will be my last post for this trip. Thanks for following our adventures.
