A Bit O' Ireland

In July we went to Ireland for 2 weeks. We saw so any beautiful places. It's so green, cause it rains everyday!!! Here's just a few highlights of our trip.

Who are these guys?
Columns on the Giant's Causeway on the Antrim Coast.
Gayle on the Giant's Causeway.

Ross Castle outside of the village of Kilkenney.
Local residents on the way to Ring of Kerry.

The town of Kilkenny is famous for their jaunting cars. Here I am with Billy the jarvey.
We saw this scene a lot in the countrysides of Ireland.
Fishing boats in the fishing village of Cobh. This is the town where most of the Irish famine immigrants left from.

Celtic crosses in Drumcliffe, where William Butler Yeats is buried.

Here's and old road on our way to Kilkenney.

We discovered sheep are the local residents.
On one of days in Dublin, we ventured to the Wicklow Mountains and toured Glendalough and Powerscourt. Below is the 1200AD Monastery area of Glendalough, which means valley of two lakes.
The Cliffs of Moher were a spectacular view. Although you can't see, the golden lower cliff was full of puffin nests.

Green pastures were everywhere. This photo was taken on our day excursion around the Ring of Kerry.
