Ireland

It's been a while since my last post, and in fact it's been a while since I visited Ireland with my folks. For that reason (and because two of our most avid readers were on the trip with me!) I'm going to keep the writing brief and just show a few of my favourite photos.

The Giant's Causeway, of course!

Glendalough, very pretty and home to religious sites dating back to the 6th Century

The round tower and monastery remains at Glendalough

Hore Abbey, the remains of a Benedictine Abbey viewed from the Cistercian Rock of Cashel. Apparently they didn't get on very well and the Cistercian Archbishop was always trying to get rid of them!

Traditional music in Doolin.

The folks as we went for a morning stroll at Monagh Mor, a wee fishing village.

A hill

Cool (random) graffitti in Derry

One of a series of murals depicting the Troubles in Derry, painted by the Bogside Artists

Some of the coastlines were rather spectacular.
