Killarney is a town in County Kerry, also on the northeastern shore of Lough Leane, and also part of Killarney National Park. It has a tremendous natural heritage, a long and involved history, is also on the Ring of Kerry, and is a popular tourist destination. Tourism is Killarney’s chief industry. Killarney's tourist industry dates back to the mid-18th century, so they are well prepared for tourists.

The Killarney town center was about a five-minute drive from Ross Castle. We found Killarney to be a fun and lively town. We walked all over the town center and managed to purchase a lot of gifts for home here.

The first photo will give you a pretty good idea about Killarney and tourism. We saw horses in other small towns but not as many as in Killarney. They also had old automobiles and other conveyances for tourists to ride.

I expected to find Guinness beer all over Ireland, but I had no idea how often I would find other Guinness businesses.

My favorite Christmas album of all time is Bing Crosby's "White Christmas." One of my favorite songs on that album is "Christmas in Killarney." We found a Christmas store in Killarney, and we had to go in and look it over.

I could have taken the next two photos in several towns, but these are from Killarney.
