My mom came to visit me last month and we had an amazing eleven days together traveling the countryside! Our itinerary was as follows:
Nov 16 - Met at the bus station around noon and (after many hugs) dropped our luggage off at our hostel and walked around the city.
Nov 17 - Took a tour bus to the Cliffs of Moher. Saw the beautfil sites and got thoroughly drenched.
Nov 18 - Took a tour bus to the Connemara region and saw Kylemore Abbey. Again, got drenched.
Nov 19 - Hired a car and drove down to the Dingle Peninsula. Staid at the Lantern Townhouse there for the next couple of nights. (I will bitterly interject that I was unable to have the world's best fish and chips and the world's best bangers and mash. BOTH restaurants were closed. The worst of luck!)
Nov 20 - Drove to Killarney and saw the Muckrock House, through Moll's Gap and around the Ring of Kerry.
Nov 21 - Drove down to Blarney Castle (decided not to spend $15 each to kiss a stone that's been slathered more times than is hygienically appealing) and to my home in Cork.
Nov 22 - Thanksgiving!
Nov 23 - Relaxed at my house and in the evening went to the Cork Opera House to see the Sleeping Beauty Ballet with my housemate Lucy-Anne and her mom.
Nov 24 - Hired a car again (actually got the same car!) and drove to the Rock of Cashel and Kilkenny.
Nov 25 - Drove throughout the Wicklow Mountains and returned the car at the Dublin Airport that night.
Nov 26 - Toured Dublin and shopped til we dropped.
Nov 27 - Parted at the airport after many hugs and I took the bus back to Cork.

Hi Luisa, I loved all your photos but was hoping to see one of your mom and you. After reading all you did, I'm hoping her health is better and it was easy for her to get around. Enjoy the blessings of the season.
