Ring of Kerry Tour

From Killarney, we took a nice bus ride (though the bus was quite small) through the Kerry Peninsula. There's not much there; just a lot of farms and small towns. All sort of touristy. The bus took us along Galway bay and along the Atlantic coast, between Kerry and Galway. The wind was up something fierce that day; you could literally see the wind moving along the water. It made for some cool waves, though. While on the tour, we saw some nice green farms, which seems quite peculiar, seeing as it was November. We got off at specific view-points, where we could see for miles down the Atlantic, and down large valleys. We stopped once for some chowder, and further down the road we found a windy hilltop. On top of this hill was a parking lot that stood between the mountains and the ocean. The wind was howling so bad that day, that it shook the bus, and when we stood up, we were forced back. I lost a good hat that day to the wind, despite Colleen vehemently warning me. --Jesse
