Google Trip Map for Ireland Pilgrimage
Updated March 23, 2009, to correct the location of Blarney.

Use the navigation toolbar (the "+" symbol) to zoom in on each destination of our trip including placemarkers for the exact location of hotels, and the general driving routes from place to place.

On the larger map, you can zoom in, "pull the map around" by holding your left mouse button down while dragging your mouse, etc. Using the "satellite view" you can take a virtual tour!

Update on June 9, 2009:
At long last, a blog update!! Alas, our Ireland choir pilgrimage didn't leave enough time to update our blog while in Ireland (between daytime singing and touring and nighttime searches for Irish music!) But then the blogmeister was off to Holland, Belgium, France, California, and Illinois for three weeks after the end of the choir tour of Ireland, and has been in "catch-up mode" ever since. Now, finally, some updates! With many many thanks to Dan Ruffin and his first experimentation with a new camera, see videos of the choir singing across Ireland: Dan Ruffin's Videos of OLOS Choir in Ireland at http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=oloschoir
In other postings from today:

Updates on March 27, 2009:
Dublin Temperature and 4-day forecast added at top right column.
Maryland and Ireland time clocks moved to just below the "Topics/Labels Links" on the right column.
"Learn an Irish Word a Day" feature added to the bottom of the page! You can read, click and listen to Irish phrases.
