Land of Leprechauns and Poets

Edenderry.

Mullingar.

Ceanannas.

Bailieborough.

Enniskillen.

The Mullet.

Inishbofin.

Downpatrick.

Bloody Foreland.

Glencolumbkille.

Carrickmoylenacurhoga.

 

The lyrical names of places and hamlets in Ireland is mystical as well as poetic.  Is it any wonder it is the home of leprechauns and poets? 

48 hours and I will be on my way to the home of my ancestors.
