Travel: Ireland

We loved our visit to Ireland. The landscape was lush, the residents were very friendly and the history was rich. As an experienced international traveler, I have developed a strong interest in history and cultures. When I travel, I prefer to stay in local hotels and eat at "mom and pop" restaurants. I try to leave the tourist path when possible. Below are pictures of Cork, Ireland.

Beautiful sea side.

The church of Ireland. Amazing!

Breathtaking architecture.

I did kiss the stone. The legend is that if you kiss the stone, you obtain "the gift of the gab".

Lush greenery.......

.....more lush greenery....

..... and more lush greenery. I have never seen so much greenery.

While in Cork, Ireland, we discovered our love for "true hot chocolate". This inspired our hot chocolate served in our store.

Travel: Stonehenge

As Expats in England, we had the opportunity to travel across Europe. Today, I wanted to feature our visit to Stonehenge. Our first trip once we arrived in England was to Bristol, Bath and Stonehenge. I loved every minute of it. Stonehenge was so old and isolated in the countryside.

It was absolutely breathtaking.

This is my favorite picture of my kids at Stonehenge. I love the contrast between my young children and the old structure.
