Hi... I'm sure you'll have a super time over here, a few suggestions:
- From Dublin you could take the route through Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford,
Cork, West Cork,
Kerry, Limerick, Clare, Galway and maybe even further
north to Mayo, Sligo and Donegal. Lots of walking in these parts and great
coastal views. Roads not great it spots so take care driving.
- If you want to house yourself in style, then check out the country houses
of Ireland
http://www.irelands-blue-book.ie/- If you like golf:
http://www.golf.ireland.ie/- There are opportunities to visit islands too, in West Cork, Kerry and
Galway. See
http://www.dingle-peninsula.ie/blaskets.htmlhttp://www.oilean-chleire.ie/english/index.htmhttp://homepage.eircom.net/~daraoc/Aranislands.net/Homepage/AranIslands.html- For alternative sunday afternoon entertainment, check out a GAA (Gaelic
Athletic Assocation) game, hurling is the best for excitement, played with
sticks and at great speed. See www.gaa.ie .

you're passing through for a chat on complexity!
best regards,
Jim.
