Aerial Howth


Howth

My sister and dad and I cycled through Ireland in 1995. We cycled from the airport to our B&B in Howth and it might have something to do with arriving at our destination after a day of travel, sleep-deprived and starving as we were, but when my sister and I ate fish and chips while watching the sunset from the Howth pier, we felt such serenity and comfort it was like coming home.

The next day we ran into Barry Lacey who took us for an hours-long hike through the countryside, telling us the history of the area and showing us the secret Wishing Chair in the rhodedendron forest. An amazing welcome to Ireland.

Click on the photo to go to the flickr page and you will see a box around the airport (upper left) and around Howth (the peninsula).
