It really is amazing how open and friendly people are all over the world once you start traveling. I've only ever experienced incredibly warm and open people in the countryside of Ireland, it's what makes me want to keep coming back! The tea and potatoes were spot on – but where's my drop of whiskey?! I'll have to vie for that offer next time ;-)

As an irish person who lives and travels abroad, im really thrilled to read that you had a good time in ireland, I have been to some beautiful places around the world and met some wonderful people and have always been met with hospitality so im very happy to hear that you guys get the same treatment back in Eire. Obviously I love it as its my home so im biased;) its funny you mention the potatoes…. its true that in any irish home you will be offered one of the following, potatoes. a cupan tae (cuppa tea) or a drop….(of whiskey ;)

That is truly a great story – and I love that you prove that hospitality is just the way it is in Ireland – you don't have to search it out, they are just a friendly lot by and large :-) Was it a full Irish breakfast? I have a hard time looking at the “pudding” they serve at breakfast!

I have to agree with you about the Irish hospitality. I went there last year and I loved it so much I went back this year. I have travelled to so many countries but I have never come across such friendly, lovely, warm people in my life.
I was travelling some friend. We were in the countryside. It was getting late and we had not look for a campsite. We pulled in and asked this lady who was out for a walk. She told us there was no need for us to pay for a campsite, we could camp in her back garden. And what an amazingly beautiful and large garden it was. In the moring she cooked us breakfast and gave it to us on her patio. Her and her family sat and chatted to us and gave us travel advice.
All over Ireland we experienced the same wonderful level of hospitality. It is such an amazing and beautiful contry. I cannot recommend it enough!!!! If you haven't been there, go!!!!

What a fun story! It always amazes me how tiny European cars are. Americans could definitely learn a lesson from that!

That's great that you got to see the countryside and meet a real Irish family, potatoes and all. I think everyone should get out of the big city and see things like that when exploring!
