Exciting times for Irish rugby as a very exciting U 20 Irish team on course for a 2nd in a row Grand Slam after taking England apart on their own sod.

Ireland's Under-20s remain on course to defend their Six Nations Grand Slam title after a convincing victory over England at Franklin Gardens.

Today I had Bruce & Waverly from New Zealand with Charles & Margaret from The Netherlands( who are staying in the area for a week or so) on the historical tour around Tralee Town. The New Zealanders were on their way to a wedding in Glengarriff via the Ring of Kerry. I hope they all enjoy their time here in Ireland

A few days ago I had Stacey Collins, from California on the walk around Tralee. She was in Tralee with her step parents as her stepfather came from Tralee. It was only since she came to Ireland & saw the name COLLINS on shop fronts & was reading about Michael Collins that she realised that it was an Irish surname.... She really liked the Cauldron Of the Great Dagda in the Garden of the Senses

The Porter Family from Cambridge were in Tralee for a number of days. While here they were hoping to get information on a Grandfather / Gt Grandfather/Gt Gt Grandfather called Healy. Hopefully they were able to get it in the archives in Tralee Library. They came on the tour with me with another Spanish couple, Annie & Fernando, from Madrid in Spain. Annie & Fernando were staying in Abbeydorney area for a week & their children went to the local GAA club to learn how to hurl.

In July, just before the British Open in Portrush I was delighted to take Eric & Laura, from Tyrone & Lisa & Catherine, from Westphalia, in Germany around Tralee town. They were all in good spirits & had good fun. Lisa & Catherine had just finished walking the Di**le Way.

Earlier this week Carl & Lorraine, from Boston, came on the walk around Tralee Town. They are staying in the area for about a month & visiting as much of the South West as they can. They were very interested in history so they were delighted to find out about the origins of Tralee from 1216 to the present day. Hope they enjoy the remainder of their stay here.

Today I met Mark & Annie from California - near San Francisco. They are staying in Tralee for a few weeks so as to see more of the Sth West. They came on the Walking Tour of Tralee with me & found it useful to get to know the town. They are enjoying their visit so far. Mark is hoping to fit in some golf hopefully.

Emily, from Toronto, was in Tralee recently, with a friend. The reason she is here in Ireland is for a set dancing course in Sligo. So she is taking in the South West too. So she came with me around the town to get to know more of it. Again she was very impressed with the Window of Reconsiliation - amazed with the colours used. Hope Emily enjoys the remainder of her stay in Ireland

Last week I met a group of ladies from Shannon Town - Probus. They came to Tralee on their annual outing. Leaving Shannon at 7.30am they were able to fit in a trip to Blennerville Windmill & walked back the canal for lunch in the Brogue. After lunch they came on the Walk around Tralee Town visiting St John;s Church, Castle St & St John's Church Ashe St. They were amazed at the Window of Reconciliation. They got back to Shannon safely at 9.45pm., I believe! What a day. They really enjoyed their time in Tralee town. Best of luck to them.Hope they come back soon again.
