2012 July - Family vacation to Ireland

A two week trip to Ireland with Sarah's family.


First day in Waterford

Some famous castle - there are lots of them.  This one had a really cool drive down narrow roads. 

The Blarney castle - I love tour busses and old people!

Starting on the trip on the Ring of Kerry

Beautiful skies

More beautiful skies at the top of a hill on a single lane road straight up.

Gap of Dunlow - beautiful, but not a great picture day

Sarah and John and the Cliffs of Mor

Another castle - this one restored

Random cliffs where we stopped to get something to eat.  I just remember the smell of cows, near where that famous castle that is sliding into the ocean...

Parking lot of unnamed cliffs.  A Yaris towing a trailer on windy and steep hills?  Anything for ice cream.

Giants Causeway

More dihedrals at the Giant's Causeway

A cliff view and some of the Giant's Causeway

Beautiful waters near the Giant's Causeway - which we got to over a old rope bridge they used to salmon fish from.  The Atlantic salmon they used to catch are all gone now.

Beautiful woodwork throughout in the Castle Leslie

Newgrange Passage Tomb

Some famous Church with a crypt in the basement....with a coffee and gift shop

Guiness factory

Everything has a coat of arms
End grain floor - in a open building.
