Can any of you give us good advice or places to go? Here's the deal:

The good news: My sister-in-law & niece (age 17+) had booked a horseback riding trip to Ireland. The bad news: s-i-l just broke her arm, so trip was threatened with cancellation. The good news: I have time & money, so niece & I are going instead.

My musical abilities are that I am the Good Listener; my niece sings & plays guitar.

My niece and I are from New York & California respectively; but we've both travelled enough that...I'm not sure what I am trying to say. Well, we'd rather eat the local food, and be with the local people, than be feel like we were at home. Does that make sense?

This is what I think the plan is where we'll be in the evenings:

August 31--Dublin September 1--Dublin September 2--Dublin Mon. Sept. 3--Poulapphuca, Blessington, Co. Wicklow Tues. Sept. 4--ditto Wed. Sept. 5--Kilraneleahg Country Sports, Saunders Grove Lodge, Tuckmill, Baltinglass Thurs. Sept. 6--Derrybawn House, Rathdrum Fri. Sept. 7--either Glendalough or Laragh Sat. Sept. 8----either Glendalough or Laragh

Thank you all!
