IRELAND
Saint Louis University Alumni Association
Looking for a lucky clover? You're in the right place. In this land where legends live large, lucky moments are tucked into every beautiful day of the trip. Go where luminous lakes spread out over verdant green hills and valleys, where lush wooded slopes run into breathtaking white sand beaches. Where castles are as common as pubs and the names of towns dance off your tongue: Blarney, Glendalough, Waterford, and Kinsale. Cosmopolitan Dublin still exudes the charms of the eighteenth century and it's lovely to get lost in its historical and cultural treasures. Go where the hills are painted a thousand shades of green and stay in charming Kilkenny and the Camelot-like town of Killarney. The castles and ancient abbeys of medieval Kilkenny provide an intriguing contrast to its contemporary shops, design galleries and restaurants. And Killarney, surrounded by idyllic lakes, mountains, islands and waterfalls, is a wondrous town you will never forget.

Go where the hills glow green, leprechauns dance and the blarney stone waits for your kiss.
