The Winding Road

Anyone who risks their life and the lives of those they love by driving in Ireland deserves a medal. My husband, having done it twice now in our marriage, deserves two. All joking aside, driving some of Ireland's roads is no walk in the park. The major highways are a cinch, but most of the country is not highway. Many of the roads leave you asking, "Is this really a road?" or "How are TWO cars passing at high rates of speed not going to collide?". The non-highway roads that are paved well--you can count on those to be filled with twists and turns. And that's after you realize you're driving on the opposite side of the road.

The roads lead you to your destination--and once you arrive you realize you'd quickly travel them again and again. Trust us when we say experiencing Ireland's roads is part of the incredible adventure.





See? The view is worth traveling the winding road.
