the Emerald Isle with Oakton
Explore the Emerald Isle on a two-week study/travel tour sponsored by Oakton Community College. Four trips are scheduled for 2004: April 22 - May 6, May 20 - June 3, July 8 - 22, and Sept. 9 - 23.
Begin in the southwest city of Killarney, known for its beautiful lakes and mountains. Drive the "Ring of Kerry," then ride a jaunting cart to Muckross House. Move east through County of Cork and kiss the Blarney Stone before arriving in Cork City, home of the Shandon Bells. Tour the Waterford Crystal factory and see Wicklow Hills. Upon arriving in the capital city of Dublin, visit Trinity College and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Finally, detour to the Aran Islands, where ancient Irish culture, history, and folklore continue to thrive.
Throughout the journey, participants will view splendid castles and historic landmarks in each county. In addition to the beautiful sites of Ireland, experience the culture of its people through daily encounters, selected lectures, and traditional music sessions.
