Jaunting Car Link

Jaunting Cars - Killarney - Tuesday, June 12.  The day started off with a mist but we took a chance anyway to ride the Jaunting Cars  through the National Park to Ross Castle and the Killarney Estate.  

By the time we got to Ross Castle it was absolutely pouring pots of rain.  We stayed huddled under our horse blanket on the jaunting car and didn't even get off to see the castle! 


The Jaunting Car let us off in front of our hotel, The International, and we all went our separate ways for a bit.  I returned to the Spin a Yarn shop to pick up another ball of yarn.  The sock I began to work on the previous night is going to be big enough for a giant!  I figured that I needed to get another ball of yarn before leaving just to be safe.


I met a lovely lady from Oregon who now lives in Ireland and who is trying to open a fabric shop and interest citizens in learning to quilt.  She is operating out of the back of the Spin a Yarn shop and currently has five bolts of fabric in her inventory.  


After lunching at Miss Courtney's Tearooms (tomato pepper soup, brown bread and coffee cake -- yum!), I returned to the hotel where I spent the afternoon in the library sewing.
