I have read a lot of B.S. in my life, but Chariots of the Gods wins the race!

You don't go for the competition events so much as for the street music. There is street music everywhere, also in every pub. Musicians of all ages come from all over Ireland and all over the world just to stand around or sit and play Irish music for a week, as if that was the meaning of life (maybe it is!) Music half the day day, music all night long, it's inconceivably wonderful, if you like Irish music. It's even better if you like beer, but be warned, they don't provide enough porta-loos.

You can get a teeny-tiny taste of it in the movie "The Boys and Girl From County Clare."

Not true... Dolphins let you know they are sentient beings, and having them take you for a ride is like snuggling with an affectionate giant, wet, muscular eggplant. Also, sharing the water with rays can get weird, as they get all touchy-feely, and it's as though a canned cling peach the size of a card table wants to make out.

Yes, like a 20 mile stretch of the barrens, Mexico on one side and the states on the other, but no port, then they would have to learn to get along to trade with others.
