Connemara Coast






Greetings Everyone.  Internet was a little funky last night, so we are a few hours late checking in.   It is another gorgeous day here and we are looking forward to it.   Yesterday, as shown in these pics, we visited a wonderful place called Kylemore Abbey.   It is located in the Connemara area of Ireland.   It was built in the 1850's and is now occupied by the Benedictine Sisters.   Lovely castle and immense walled formal garden.

The picture at the left is on something called the Sky Road.   It wound its way out to the coast on a tiny peninsula.   Nail-biting drive, but worth it when we got to the views of the open ocean.  
We then headed to our hotel just outside Galway.   It is another wonderful place.   We will post pics and details of today's excitement later.   We are heading for the ferry to go over to the Aran Islands.
