Pete is a really nice guy and lives in a beatiful part of ireland. He showed us a lot of hidden places and we learned a lot about the irish culture. We also met a lot of his friends and had good nights in the pub. It was a very interesting time of our travelling and we feel happy for these experiences. Thank you pete! Love life!:v:
