Taking the plunge! Erin's Isle #514

Lattes and Liturgy

I recently discovered a very different coffee experience in the small town of Drogheda, Ireland. Up the hill from a friend's house, nestled in beside a beautifully decommissioned church...a coffee cart housed in a repurposed horse trailer is getting a lot of attention. Not only is the coffee great, it's offered mornings AND evenings. Hear all about the Priest with the heavenly idea of his coffee to go, in this episode of Erin's Isle.

The Tapestry of Clare Island

Clare IslandIreland is about a 45 minute ferry ride from Westport,and it feels like a steop back in time when you get there. With a population of about 160 and just a half dozen cars, it is a place where time slows down, people really care about ech other and walking is a way of life. Most of those there, were born there. But a few characters have blown-in over the years and the mix of personalities and artful offerings is amazing. Hear from those who live there and those who choos to move there, in this episode of Erin's Isle.
