There was even entertainment on board the train.

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Today was day two of Killarney activites.  Unfortunately, the rain was still around, but Super Achievers refused to let a little water dampen their spirits.  Here is a glimpse at the Delights of Dingle tour.  Despite the rain, the scenery was beautiful.

Everyone enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Chart House restaurant.

This evening, the group once again split in two.  One group enjoyed dinner in a local restaurtant, while the other had a pub dinner at Molly D'arcy's. 

Before dinner, though, everyone enjoyed a reception at the hotel:

Of course, everyone had a great time at Molly D'arcy's!

After another wonderful day, Super Achievers from Group 1 prepare to journey by train to Dublin tomorrow.  A second group of agents will arrive in Killarney as Group 1 departs.  It will be a busy day!  Check back for more photos tomorrow.
