Lasting Memories



I really loved the bright color of paint that a lot of homes had for their front doors and window trims. I especially liked this building with the crisp white with red trim....then the customer's bike just happened to be red! It was very cool!

Views of the Aran Islands


Here are some photos from the Aran Islands. One of the possible ways of touring the island....we passed on this suggestion.



Can you believe all of these rocks that are stacked in a very mindful way?









We hiked to the highest point on this island. The views are worth the trek to the top!




I had a hard time wrapping my mind around seeing so much rock! And the building of the short walls was just to place the rock...somewhere!






New construction was next to homes that were centuries old. I saw many thatched roof homes.





















I loved the exploring of the cemeteries. Even though the tombstones were centuries old, you could actually still read parts of the names and dates. Truly amazing!










Doesn't my sweetie look so adorable. I really have a awareness of how Irish he really is....he looked like he was related to just about everyone in Ireland!




Ireland's B&B's

After about five nights staying at different B&B's, my daughter Kimberly and I decided to rate them. Attitude, cleanliness, food, mattresses, water pressure, shower size, breakfast menu, etc. It was hilarious to make a rating system. After I have a chance to sort the photos, I am going to journal our final numbers...I will be making my own travel logs.

This is our first experience with staying at the B&B...this one was between Galway and the Aran Islands.
