Today we visited the ruins of an Irish Monastery - set in the most gorgeous mountains,
with views that are probably some of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
I took so many pictures - and had a hard
time narrowing it down to these.
Learned that these early monks are the source of the beautiful
Celtic cross.
"Which way should we go?"
Both led to utter beauty but we only had time to choose one.
I think we chose wisely.
I don't think I have ever had a more peaceful, beautiful walk in any woods ever.
We hadn't eaten anything all day, and by now it was 2 in the afternoon,
so we stopped at a local Irish restaurant for lunch,
After lunch we drove to Lough Tay - which is also known as Guinness Lake.
The lake was so far away I couldn't really capture it, but apparently the Guinness
family owned all this, had the white sand shipped in to give it a distinctive look - like a
pint of frothing Guinness.
They even had a castle and some small lodges built on this 6000 acre estate.
You can rent it for a mere 20,000 Euros per week!
Apparently the rich and famous do...
Our faithful car getting us all around this island.
Time to head down to the hotel pub for one last round or two
of Jameson Old Fashioned!
