Food and more!

Ruairi has historical and engaging stories of Ireland from potato chips to the small Kerry cows of Dingle. We were laughing and learning for almost three hours. We experienced local restaurants and local stories. Thank you Ruariri, we are ever so grateful for our introduction to Ireland food and fun. Highly recommend!
