We got on the road fairly early this morning. Our first stop was at Connemara Marble Shop. There we met Ambrose Joyce and two of his daughters, Grace and Tess! They are distance relatives of Nana! We were there for a while, talking about different parts of the Joyce family, piecing together different bits of information. It was really nice meeting them! They said that Tess looks like their sister, Claire did when she was her age. Claire won the Beauty Queen of Connemara in 1988! We stopped in Ireland’s most picturesque village, Aldare for lunch. It’s was really nice, but we were sooo full afterwards, we rolled down the street to look in a few shops and then back into the car. We reached our destination at about 5:30pm. After checking in, we tootled off down the street. We had a light dinner, then a very yummy ice cream! The ice cream actually contains milk from Kerry cows, a breed of cow that is rarer than the Giant Panda!

All looks so picturesque and fantastic . Talking about rain as you did yesterday, we have had around 50 mil over the last 4 days, you are not missing anything. LOL xxxx
Beautiful scenery, so lush! Absolutely freezing here, can’t even get to double figures
Funny, thought Tess was more like the other side, future Beauty Queen of Elpho!
Another beautiful area in Ireland. How fantastic to have met some rellies. I remember mum talking about Ambrose when she was other there. That’s quite interesting to hear you look a little like Claire did, Tess. So, on to Miss Universe for you!!?? Enjoy your future travels..These blogs just keep coming and I got a little behind. How dare work get in the way?
