A few very very last pix from Ireland

So, my friend Teresa sent me a CD of her pictures from Ireland, and somehow there are a few pictures of me... so, to prove i atchy did go to Ireland, i am including them here...



Ring of Kerry and my cute rental car Herbie.

Travelers lunch in a scenic spot on the ring of Kerry.


I've fallen and I can't get up... but i'm obviously not terribly upset, guess its not a bad place to be stuck :D



Another way to get spinal injuries- fall off cliff with very nice view

"I hate posing for pictures"

Me trying to keep up with the generous speed limits, especially on these dangerous and curving roads.

Action shot in the Burren

Yum - travelers lunch at Doolin Point... more bread and cheese and raspberry jam.

Excited to go into the tasting lab at the Guinness brewery


Teresa's classmate Tania and me in Dublin


Me at Glendalough. no i'm not pregnant, i was protecting my cameras under my raincoat- don't let the blue sky fool you, it poured rain both before and after our hike this day.


random picture near rock wall outside of random catherdral ruins we found in a random town we were driving through and then randomly stopped to explore and take pictures

the finale... Cliffs of Moher

Ireland- Ring of Kerry

Lunch with Finnegan - We drove off the main roads and found this lake and park and stopped for a travelers lunch (we ate a lot of bread and cheese). This random dog shows up, joins us for lunch- although even he refused to eat our 4 day old brown soda bread... hmmm... anyway, it was pretty funny. And after missing my own pooches for so long, some friendly dog company was very welcome.


"Wait, you're eating fresh bread and only offered me that nasty old bread? Can't i just have a little bite??"




Finnegan kept running over to the lake, and then looking at us as if to say "Come on guys, i thought we were friends, its time to play!"

More Pictures

Killarney National Park- Tuloc falls - beautiful day




The Burren- really intersting rocky landscape. We drove around the Burren in the morning on 5/22 (my last day in Ireland), it was rainy for part of the morning, but cleared up later so we could get out and explore. We hiked down to the ocean across the rocks, saw more locals, enjoyed the day...











more locals (somehow it isn't awkward taking pictures of the animals i met, whereas with the people, it felt too touristy :)


Irish Ass (a baby one ;)

The quick, pictoral view of the rest of Ireland

Since I'm way behind on blogging about my trip and the best part is the pictures anyway, i'm going to add a bunch of pictures of the final few days in Ireland for your browsing pleasure...

Final stats: Ireland for 10 days, 1300 miles driven, 1 new tire, 12 rolls of film, endless memories.




Falls near the upper lake, Glendalough

Upper lake, Glendalough- breathtakingly beautiful


St Kevin's "kitchen" / church in Glendalough

beautiful stream - note to self, small off the beaten road paths next to a stream may be deer paths that land you on the wrong side of a barb wire fence - still its very scenic :)
