SOUNDS of IRELAND
Take a seat in a pub and try to decipher the lilting brogue of an Irishman chatting in Gaelic with his buddies. Marvel at the way he can turn and talk to you in English, and suddenly you can understand every word - well, almost. Try to interpret the voice and whistle commands a sheep herder sends to his dogs, commands the dogs perform with glee. Tap your toes to the lively beat of traditional Irish musicians and soulful singers at a concert or in a pub. You'll hear these sounds and so much more on a Rick Steves tour of Ireland.
