A Cross Country Trip to Wexford from Kilkee, Ireland

Wexford is a town with much history on the opposite side of the country from Kilkee. On July 24 we set out on a northeasterly direction by car to Ennis to catch the train for several days of exploring another part of this country where we had not yet set foot. On the way we passed rolling green, green countryside where many horses, sheep and cattle were grazing. After an hour's car ride we reached the town of Ennis where we hopped on the train which took us southeast to Limerick. In this city we took a bus to Limerick junction where we caught the train for Dublin, now again heading in a northeasterly direction. The train in Dublin, where we transferred to the Wexford line, now took us straight south along the east side of the country along the Irish Sea coast. Beautiful mountains on one side of the rail line with the stunning coastline on the other. The east side of the country is sunnier and warmer than the west and so it was that the beaches were full of sunbathers and swimmers.
In Wexford town, in the southeast of Ireland, we joined an historical walking tour around the town where many years ago the Vikings, Normans and British had invaded and many battles had been fought.
We also enjoyed browsing through the many shops along the business street. Best of this little outing was the warm, sunshiny weather.
