(Mother's trip to Ireland) Day 5, nice drive to Tipperary

 Day 5 in Ireland. We decided today was a great day to drive to Tipperary in this beautiful sunshine, although we had a shower and some clouds at some point. Nothing special for us to see there but it was a nice drive. Then coming home we did little back roads thru small villages, seeing lush green fields, rolling hills, some cattle and old ruins and graveyards. We both love that. When we got back to Bunratty we had fish and chips and did a little shopping (well Diane did...lol). I sat at an outside table and conversed with an Irish laddie (he said he was 42) who was very hospitable. He wanted to know what  I thought of Donald Trump. He was very surprised to find out I was very surprised to see beer being sold here on Sunday. He wanted to know if it was true that alcohol could only be purchased by 21-year-olds. He was really interested in these culture differences.
Today's pics are some I took in a small village as we passed an old church. Diane drove today.
