I wholeheartly concure

The Irish people in the Republic are the friendliest I ever met on my travels.  They always greet you with a warm smile and open arms.  They not only happy to help with driving directions, but will even take you there if it isn't too far out of their way.  I walked into the Black Cat cane shop near Galway.  The elderly gentleman who was the owner and cane maker showed me the different canes he made.  I finally settled on a ram's horn handle cane, and a unpainted blackthorn.  Then he spent about 5 minutes showing me how to walk with the cane.  He said if used properly, you could walk miles without getting tired.  The only problem is I would look like a drum major leading the band on parade.  Must try it sometime, tho'.  I, too, am looking fwd to a return trip to the emerald isle.  Glad you enjoyed your trip, Thomas

Cheers,
