Limerick

I will be situated in the city of Limerick for about 2 months. This is where Ellen and the rest of her family live and work. Limerick is said to be the birthplace of Rugby in Ireland and home of one of the best Irish Rugby teams, Munster Rugby. This team recently played a friendly match against the New Zealand All Blacks and lost by only two or three points.

The city has a population of about 90 thousand inhabitants and is cut in half by the Shannon river (a tidal river). Anyhow, I decided to go on a photo tour around Limerick and post some online, so here they are.

On the way to King John's Castle.


Parceled hills on the outskirts of Limerick.

Lovely colorful shop in King's Island.

Gloomy!

Beautiful streets of Limerick.
