What a great observation! It’s amazing how the energy and attitude of locals can really shape your travel experience.

It sounds like the genuine warmth of the Irish people made your trip even more special, and noticing that they actually enjoyed their work adds such a nice layer to that connection.

Those photos of pubs and food, brought back so many fond memories of my time there. I remember sitting in a Pub in the village of Doolin for lunch at the end of March. Rainy, but beautiful from my table next to the window.

A peat fire crackling in the fireplace toasting the room making it all even more cosy.

Savoring the best Irish stew and fresh soda bread of my life. Of course, accompanied by a pint of Guinness. Nothing better! I was in heaven!

Thanks again for sharing one more uplifting detail about your time in Ireland!
