My Trip Through the Emerald Isle

I want to take you on a journey through Ireland.  My husband and I went last year in October and it was the most memorable trip of my life.  We started in Dublin where we went to the huge Popup Linkfarmer's market, then we found ourselves in my favorite spot, Glendalough....that day we hiked 11 miles and saw a Popup Linkmonastary that dates back to 500 A.D.  There were grave markers Popup Linkceltic grave marker dating back to the 1400's!  We also visted the nature center and met this Popup Linkcool little guy.  

We headed to Blarney to visit the Blarney Popup LinkCastle where, YES, I did kiss the blarney stone! We then headed onto this beautiful drive called the Ring of Kerry and saw some beautiful places like this Popup Linkbreathtaking view and thisPopup Linkstunning place.  We also visited a place called Popup LinkLadies View

Eventually, we were on our way, Popup Linkpassing a barn,
to a ruggedly beautiful place, Popup LinkThe Cliffs of Moher, a place of mystery, where the land just drops away into sheer cliffs and the Popup Linkrough ocean.

We drove the coast until we hit Waterville,and saw this Popup Linkmosaic of sea
rocks
where Charlie Chaplin liked to visit.  I am sure he loved the Popup Linkwaterscape views as much as we did!

On to Kinvara and  Popup LinkGalway Bay was next, a beautiful little village where my husband's family/clan comes from and once ruled Popup LinkDungaire Castle.

We did not want to come home, but after two weeks we had to get back to reality...hope you enjoyed your short tour Ireland.....
