Part 2 of the Ireland adventure blog. After we spent time in Dublin we spent the rest of the week driving around the rest of the island. We found lots of beautiful castles and scenery and lots of friendly people. And of course, more pubs!
Our first day out of Dublin we went through the country side and stopped at several castles
The Rock of Cashel Castle with the graveyard where the people from the town have been buried for hundreds of years!
There are more sheep than people!
A monastery behind the Rock of Cashel. We noticed this while we were exploring the castle and decided to take a little hike across some sheep fields to check it out. Very worth it!
Views from Cahir Castle and us standing on top of a ring stone fort
Beaches of Blackhead from our beautiful drive along the coast between the towns of Killarney and Galway
Sheep dog demonstration. Very smart dogs!
The freezing cold Atlantic ocean.
The crew at the Ring of Kerry
Some sights along the ring of Kerry in Killarney
The Irish version of Stonehenge, from sometime in the BC
We were planning on swimming, after putting out feet in we decided this was a bad idea
The Cliffs of Moher with the fog rolling in over our heads
We stayed the night in Petes Castle (Caher Castle). He has spent years renovating it all by himself
Dad and I at Kylemore Abbey, a castle with large gardens, a mountain, a lake and its own church
Seth did a good job driving us on the edge of the sky road which followed the coastline on the Connemara peninsula
Views at the bottom the skyroad
A hunting lodge buried on the side of a mountain
It was a great trip complete with a Tech win, lots of castles, beautiful scenery and lots of man bonding time. Thanks to the wives for holding down the forts while we were gone for a week!!
