Here a few more pics from our trip. As you can see, I'm so enthralled with the countryside. We drove the coast road several times. Two of the photos show a storm coming in off the Atlantic & two show just how close we were driving on the EDGE of the country.
Jami & I took the walk we had followed on horse back the day before. We saw an even more beautiful view from the top of the mountain looking down to the shoreline. When we got to the top, we remembered the mud pit that the horses had struggled through...oops. We somehow made it with just a bit on our pant legs but I need a pedicure to dig out the black Irish mud from under my toenails. My sandals had to be left behind...didn't come out of it so good.
Our trip to Galway was fantastic. The city is geared to foot traffic in the shopping area & is so lovely. It surrounds a couple of beautiful parks. There we found some street musicians setting up & had to stop for the entertainment. They were great!!!
The road crews are constantly repairing the roads in Ireland...either stabilizing the chips on the path or cutting the vegetation that is crawling up the stone walls along the edge of the road & reaching out into the road. The photo with the dump truck & the cow is funny. We were driving out of our street & the cow had somehow gotten out of her pasture. She was trying to get back as the road crew was continuing their work. Of course I had to jump out & snap the shot.
