Ireland Week 2

We headed south to Bantry from Doolin for our next stay.  Bantry is famous for a failed French invasion during the 1700s.  There's a beautiful old estate house that is owned by the grandson of the last Earl of Bantry.  They run a B&B out of the servants quarters and that's where we stayed for one night.

After our day in Bantry, we headed a bit north to Kenmare where we rented a house with kitchen and laundry for the next 5 days.  Kenmare became our base of operations.
