Ring of Kerry

According to the Lonely Planet book, the Ring of Kerry is the 2nd top experience in Ireland after Dublin.  It is mentioned in just about every guide book about Ireland.  For a while I did not understand what the Ring of Kerry is all about.  Now that I have driven through it, I understand.  It is basically a loop drive through a peninsula in the southwestern part of Ireland.  Along the way are towns that have different history, attraction or activities.   You may find golf, fishing, statues, shops, markets, history, churches, beaches, scenery, etc, in any of these towns.  When I asked the locals what they recommend.  They always give me a vague answer:  depends on what you like to do and see.  There are indeed a lot of things to do.  You can spend a whole 1-week vacation in the area.  Below is a map of the towns in the Ring of Kerry.
We started from Killarney, where we are staying for 2 nights, then first to the town of Killorglin.  We continued counter-clockwise, stopping in Cahersiveen, Portmagee, Waterville, Kenmare and finally back to Killarney.  The whole trip took about 8 hours.
