Rapaire, You've warmed my heart with your references-especially West Cork area--Bantry-lovely little town, great music. Limerick & Galway City, fave places too. I've been to Tyrone & Fermanagh only in Ulster--Very beautiful landscapes. My last trip was about 18 yrs. ago--Things have changed alot I hear. Not all for the better. They call it progress.
I forgot Steinbeck's "East of Eden"-great book-10 times better then the movie-which was GREAT!
