I love these videos about counties in Ireland, you don't show the touristy spots but more the places that everyone wants to find and goto, so we can be those tourist invading the local space, that think we are being all cool and low key. Shout out to all the locals who put up with us. :)
I love those necklaces! My husband bought me a gorgeous sterling silver claddaugh ring when he was stopped in Shannon airport on his way home from Iraq in 2010, his last deployment. I wear it every day. There is some beautiful craftsmanship in Ireland 🇮🇪
Here in Minneapolis, we have a very convenient little greenway running from the rich folx area in the west through what used to be the industrial heart of the city, and then it becomes a more usual bike trail where the Minneapolis Moline factory was, long ago. What's neat about it is that the greenway, formerly a small connecting railroad, is in a cut, maybe 20 feet/6 meters deep, so there's no danger of being hit by a car for the bulk of the route. To keep the city connected, there are the old railroad bridges every few blocks. The one nearest my house, is an utterly quotidian concrete bridge with no decoration. But the cornerstone says "1916," so I always like to think about how it was being built around the time of the Rising, and about everything it's seen since. (You have to take what you can get for old stuff in the Midwest -- Europeans didn't start building anything here until well into the 19th century.)
@@FreezyAbitKT7A I think it's in the region of Saint Thomas. A friend of mine lives in Afton but works there, and I guess there's some concern in the neighborhood about removing the trees which are historic and beautiful and give the neighborhood a certain character versus bike safety because the road is so crazy around there
In St. Paul Minnesota USA they have a Klondike Kate contest during a Winter festival. I know it would benefit with an imported Irish lady who is funny and can carry a tune
We just love your videos we have been to Kerry beautiful country we have been all round.We are coming to Northern Ireland in June we don’t go anywhere else so keep those videos coming love it.Thank you for sharing.🇮🇪💯
Ah, and Kerry is lovely. I do remember one time we were on vacation/holiday, driving around the Ring of Kerry. We made a serious planning error, though, and started out just as a huge bicycle marathon was starting. So, we spent the first half of the Ring drive just trying to navigate around clumps of bicycles on the narrow roads, trying to get around them without hitting oncoming traffic. No chance to enjoy the sites... We even stopped for lunch and they were still coming (they started in waves). Finally, we got to Valentia Island and went there instead, to let them all pass. When we finally got back on the Ring two hours later, they were mostly gone, just a few stragglers left. That was late afternoon. This would have been June.
Finding out you used to work in journalism explains why your video essays are so good! My father was a journalist so I can relate, as the saying goes. Hi to Millie!
Another great video Clare. Christ John B Keane's son looks just like him!!. Fantastic vlog and delighted to see you getting called for these press tours. Lovely story about how your Dad used the ole pay phones to contact you 😃😃😃😃
Great video! Since I'm from Waterford, Michigan, USA, I always love it whenever you mention or travel to Waterford, Ireland. I think they ask Sarah for pics over you because she's tall and you're not. I think it's just that and only that. Thanks again for this wonderful video! Sláinte! ~Be Blessed
@11:57 I was in the legion and at times I only had either written letters or public phone boxes in order to contact anyone, dont underestimate the appreciation by someone when you contact them. I've got ex girlfriends and friends that still have letters I wrote, at times adding some sand or dirt from where I was, 'From a red Dawn in the middle of the Chadian desert I hope this letter finds you well' take the time and say hello.
First you made me want to visit Ireland for the city photos, and now I just want to go for a run on the greenways. You know. Seeing as we only have _ONE_ of note here where I live.
Yes you definitely don't see pay phone booths anywhere in the US as well. You might come across a payphone outside a train station or bus station, maybe in a laundry mat and possibly might still be in some shopping mall.
Claire Ireland is so Painfully Beautiful. I know that sounds a bit strange to say. To long for a place Ive never been. I look at pictures and make it my Wallpaper at work 1) Bc my Momma is sick now and I wish I could take her to Ireland where so many lines of our family came from. 2) So many Irish families in America call Ireland home. Not in that we abandon America but bc previous generations even if they never been themselves Ireland is another “home” bc the Original generations passed Such an Intense Love of Ireland down that no matter what crap hole or hardship in America they faced HOME was the Beauty of Ireland. So Im pining today for myself and my cancer stricken Mother bc I wish I could take her “Home” for the first time to see what our elder generations were talking about. Im so hoping I can get her there before she goes to heaven so she has a comparison point. Bc Ive heard so many people say if Heaven isnt a lot like Ireland they dont want to go. I love you and Alex though Ive never met you bc in my mind you and all the other lovely tryers are our long lost cousins across the sea. Thank you for all the lovely content and trips too, to confirm Ireland is absolute Heaven 🙏🏼💖🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲💖💖
Loved the part where the older fella was talking about his father and goes An scéal? lol Tree of Life Merch? Please say it's a hoodie/jumper with the Tree of Life on it because YES! I'd get one if I could
Story telling festivals are always grand and are becoming more and more important with the intrusion and domination of tech and inhumanity.. And my dear Closure, if it twer between you and Sarah in the date auction, I'd put my fin towards yourself.
I'm quite sure the who got photographed the most was a she's just taller. I think you should still get dressed up like Dolly, for shits and giggles to get a reaction out of Alex. Have a great week, best to all and scritches for Miss MIllie.
Silly me, I didn't even notice in the short you published last week what it was that you were filming. I'm so used to seeing the phone booth, but I didn't notice they had posted "defibrillator" up above! 😅
Yeah that kind of short works better on Instagram and tiktok as all the info was really in the caption and CZcams shorts doesn’t show that properly. Lesson learned! 😊
@Clisare no, it was my bad. The top of the booth is visible on YT, I just didn't read it...one of those things where you're so used to what's there that you don't look at it
Anything that you do a video on is very much appreciated ! Bike tours are awesome and a great way to see everything close up . Thank you for showing so much of your very beautiful country ! 💚🤍🧡☘️☘️☘️🐘🐘🐘 Ps. That is a wicked great idea for the Defib. Unfortunately here in the States some dumb ass would steal them .
Definitely need to hear more about your childhood. I'm glad you're being recognized and being invited on these press junkets.
THAT'S what i'm talking about, biking in Ireland seems like a fun way to spend a summer
Also, it's wild hearing the same town names that exist in Ontario Canada that originate in Ireland. Listowel is just one of them.

When my mom was in Ireland she LOVED Kerry!!!

But now they're taking the trees down in residential neighborhoods to connect that path, right?
@@LindaC616 It's always been connected since the 1900s. Are you talking about it extending on the existing railroad bed?

I love the pop-up footnotes and your story the pay phone and your Dad! Love the video!
That was just lovely!
Well, thank you Clisare that was interesting.
Wow impressive sights and people :)

My Parents came from Listowel looks like a vibrant place.
What an interesting trip! Claire all the best!
So fun sounding

Thankyou so much for the travelogue Clare! Much appreciated
Oooooh love the word Travelogue! 😍😍
The legend of Fungi lives on....
I've heard good things about the berries in Dingle.

You look a lot like my sister in law Clisare!!!!! Irish too!
I was there a few weeks ago, but the museum wasn't open
Red is the color for you! Beautiful I say!
You look mighty fine this morning
Did you see yourself in part one of the Depp v amber programme on channel 4
Oh god no tell me you’re joking 😂
No it was definitely you, it was a blink and miss you moment though
Link that for us!

Thank you :)
Is that bridge where Francis Higgins lost his mind
I missed your livestream 😢
Had to move it to twitch as CZcams wasn’t working!

Yes! 😍😍
Go bulldogs!!

Drinking game: Take shot anytime "Tralee" is said.
I want to go Ireland and I don't even ride bikes
Pointing to the non existent link never gets old! 😅 (lighthouse keeper)
Gal I think it’s your computer because the link is where it’s supposed to be and has been since I uploaded it! 😂
@@Clisareme phone--nope! --4:38- still not there😅

Thank you for this video. Looks like it was a good time.
Don't ever change your hair color. Your beautiful as is.
No way. YOU are better looking!!
Please let me know if I can assist with your Tree of Life merch design! ❤
Love your stuff. Oh...you sure have beautiful eyes...push Sarah out of the way next time.
Those public payphone defibs aren't just in Ireland, they're in England and Scotland, too. Sadly, they aren't over her in America.

Looks like your former president, Mary ?? was in my neighborhood recently

We have a Listowel here in Ontario too!
The storyteller actually mentioned that! 👏🏻
I said the same thing. It's wild how many towns in Canada have names of Irish origin.
