After driving for two hours from Cork to Sneem, we finally arrived at the street of our cottage, a winding road through breathtaking views of bogs and mountains. And yes, another cow stand-off, this time in the car. We later learned that OBriens owned the land we passed through!
After driving down this winding road for 10 minutes, we came to a fork. We stared, double-checked the directions, and were still at a loss. Luckily, the owner was coming home and led us to the cottage with the blue door! What a beautiful property. We all instantly fell in love. As we unpacked the car, the owner's wife put the kids to work feeding the animals. They both had a blast and went back every day to help. The farm had 3 turkeys(Colin and his ladies), 2 goats(Bernard and Bessy), 2 geese, and a bunch of chickens and ducks.
