Tuesday brought more gorgeous weather, so we decided to make the best of it and drive the famous Ring Of Kerry. This is one of the most scenic drives in all of Ireland, and
Killarney is the perfect starting point.
We got a little lost when we started out, but this fellow was happy to provide us with directions. You go through lots of little towns while driving the Ring of Kerry, but the main ones you see are
Killorglin,
Gleinbeigh,
Caherciveen,
Waterville,
Sneem,
Kenmare, and then take Moll's Gap back to
Killarney. If you ever find yourself in Ireland, be sure and drive the ring. You won't regret it. I won't even being to try to describe all of the amazing scenery we saw along the way, but here are a few pictures...just to give you a taste. They don't do it justice. I got whiplash from trying to see everything all at once. It was stunning.

Yes, this is a statue of Charlie Chaplin. It seems that Charlie and his family vacationed quite often in the little town of Waterville, so they erected this statue of him there on the beach as a reminder of his kindness and generosity to the community. 
Ireland is definitely a beautiful country, with everything from beaches to rocky mountains. She has something to offer for everyone. 
We decided to end the day in Killarney, with a walk over to Lough Leane to check out the area where the old copper mines were. 
I'm pretty sure this is the home of a leprechaun, but he wasn't answering his door. 
The movie Ryan's Daughter was filmed here near the old copper mines. 
Another beautiful and magical day in Ireland. Ahhhhhh. Can life get any better? Not today, it can't. Not today.
