Cork city and Kinsale on Irish chauffeurdriven vacation with Dave Hogan - REPOST OCT 8 2016

My latest tour got under way early today at Shannon airport, and these ladies brought the sunshine with them, all the way from New York. My new group consisted of four sisters, Pat, Eileen, Kathy, and Kerry. Kerry's daughter Allison was to join us later in Cork, where she is studying at the moment in the University there. Our program today included a visit to the Sacred Heart Convent in Cork where we had arranged a meeting, with their friend, Sister Mary Mc Manus.

In this picture we have my group pictured on the front steps of the old convent, which has been closed now for some years.

All together with sister Mary, relaxing inside the new convent. This was a very special meeting with a very special lady, sister Mary, who is now ninety years young, and still with a wonderful memory and marvelous personality. A memorable visit.

Back at our hotel in Kinsale, and enjoying the lovely sunshine on the patio at the back of the Mac Donald's hotel.

Kinsale was celebrating it's Gourmet Festival this weekend, and today was Mad Hatter's day there, and our ladies joined this group of party goers for a photo on the street in Kinsale. Despite the fact that they had such a very early start at Shannon this morning, my new group were in great spirits, and lasted the full day, before retiring after a lovely meal together in Jim Edwards pub restaurant in Kinsale.

Tomorrow we  will have a relaxing day around Kinsale with a visit for lunch at the Old Head Golf Course, and also take in some of the many sights in this historic town.
Make sure to follow along.
