Great first day even with flight issues. We took off from the Dublin Airport in our elegant bus and drove through the Midlands of Ireland. Our guide, Owen is exceptional and explains everything to us and does so with a great Catholic emphasis.
Then to the ancient Abbey of Clonmacnoise started in 800 for Mass where Pope John Paul II prayed. People said they couldn’t believe how beautiful it all was. Then to the West Coast at our elegant hotel on the coast in the flower-bedecked village of Westport.
