A royal date with raptors...If you ever find yourself at @dromolandcastlehotel , do not skip the falconry experience. It ended up being one of my favorite moments of the entire Ireland trip. You get to work with trained hawks and falcons, learn how they hunt and communicate, and actually have them fly right to your glove. And then there are the resident owls... easily the sweetest, most expressive little souls I’ve ever met. If you’re headed to Ireland and want a once-in-a-lifetime experience, this is it.   irelandroadtrip dromolandcastle raptors Ireland visitireland
