Irish Spring

After that seemingly interminable New England winter (heck, everywhere winter), it was wonderful to land in Ireland and find spring in full swing. I spent my first day in and around Boyle, County Roscommon, passing the night at a lovely old B&B literally right next door to a 12th-century abbey. (Okay, so the B&B is new in comparison.)Tomorrow: a wonderful pop-up vegan restaurant in Cork City.And next Tuesday: Irish holy wells!
