Remember I said we were busy when my parents were visiting? Well, here’s a bit of a montage of just two of the trips of busy-ness.
Friday morning we got up very, very early (this is considering we had gone to bed the night before at 3ish) and headed across Ireland toward Galway to catch the ferry to the Aran Islands. It was very, very cold. But then it got very, very sunny. And in the end, it was very, very awesome.
We can’t really figure out what all the rock walls are about, and I’m not sure if I could ever imagine living there, but it was gorgeous. Really just stunning.
Seriously. Experts at the rock walls. They were everywhere.
These are the 300 foot cliffs on one side of the island. You can walk right up to the edge. A few tourists were sitting with their legs dangling off the edge. I stayed about 20 feet back and even that was making me dizzy.
My hilarious husband literally crawled to the edge to peek over. See that guy next to him just chilling? That was so not us.
Ha! This is his ‘whew I’m glad I didn’t just die there’ face. You’d be surprised how often I’ve seen that face since I’ve known him.
After the Aran Islands, we headed back to Galway for the night. We had dinner at McSwiggan’s pub, on a spot-on recommendation from a taxi driver outside our hotel. The food was delicious, the space was amazing. Overall, A+ for McSwiggan’s.
And because they hadn’t had enough adventure, I took my guests out to Glendalough on Tuesday. We stopped at Avoca for lunch, and then wandered around Glendalough for a few hours. Another beautiful scene, although by that point in my tour-guiding adventure I couldn’t really absorb much history, so I don’t have much to report on what we actually saw. It was old, though, I’m sure of that.
See? Old. Very old.
And striking, no? This marsh made me feel like we were on a safari. Until we saw the sheep.
This might have been my favorite part – ferns growing high up in the moss-covered trees.
And those are my mountain goats, my mom and brother, checking out the waterfall.
So there’s the whirlwind tour of the Aran Islands and Glendalough!
