I thought it would be fun to share a bit of my trip across the pond, it seems like I was there light years ago, but it's only been 3 years!
When my grandfather passed away, he wanted to make sure I got the chance to visit our "homeland" in Ireland, so with the money he left me I booked a ticket to Ireland and never looked back! Plus I was lucky enough at the time to have a girlfriend who had recently moved to Ireland after marrying her husband who is a native of the country. I could hardly say I've been to more than a handful of states outside of where I live now, so my Ireland quest was a experience to say the least, one that I was fearful to conquer all by myself but I did! Don't get me wrong though I ran into some bumps on the way, like being seconds away from missing my return flight, but all things considered it was amazing!
Okay, enough words, time for photos!

| One of the first things I saw while traveling through a small town - not a sign you see very often. |
 |
| They have quite the view! |
 |
| I chose to go without a coat in the month of October in Ireland...I am a cold weather girl...so the weather was perfection! |
 |
| I didn't want to leave...this place...and Ireland in general. It was breathtaking. |
 |
| Ahhh this photo is3 years old! I feel like I look so different...I love how the sun is hitting my hair. |
 |
This was taken after the walk from where I was when I took the photo of the cemetery...quite the walk!
 |
 |
| Ahhh an Irish pub...dark wood...dark beer...and heavy food! |
 |
| This cracked me up...they made Ireland look like a little person driving a car! |
 |
| The architecture is just awe-inspiring |
 |
| One of the many churches |
 |
| I wasn't able to take tons of photos inside...this was so hard to capture in all it's glory...each little piece of this are individual specs of tile. The color was so vibrant! |
 |
| My last glimpse of Ireland before heading back to the states! |
Slán go fóill Ireland!
(Gaelic for Goodbye for now)
I hope you enjoyed the mini-quest through Ireland!

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures. I wish I had a job where I could get lots of time off to travel. But I do love looking at everyone else's travel pictures.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. I am from England and I hate to admit I've never been to Ireland but I'm sure I would like it. Especially the pubs. Seeing these photos do remind me of my home though and there's not really anywhere here in SoCal that compares!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I just went to London and Edinburgh in March and it's so beautiful over there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the beautiful pictures for us to enjoy!
