OKAY! I finally got all my pictures uploaded and titled. I hope you like them! I went on a weekend trip to the Ring of Kerry which is one of the biggest tourist destinations in Ireland.

This slate is famous all over the world! I took a few souvenirs from the site!

The Other Side

Too Many to Count

So many castles, so little time...

Of Course I Would...

The Atlantic

Ridiculous winds at the beach gave my hair that nice wind-blown look!

For Patrick

I try to light a candle for my brother in each church I visit.

Daniel O'Connell Memorial Church

The only Catholic church in Ireland not named after a saint!

A Great Man

Daniel O'Connell was a politician who obtained many rights for Roman Catholics in Ireland.

Outside of the Church

Up Kerry!

Gaelic football is alive and well in Ireland! It has remained an amateur sport, and people play for their own parish and county their entire lives!

ahhhh!
Dear Kaelyn you've brought a tear (or two) to my eye! I have spent the most of my time in Ireland in County Kerry but haven't been there in a few years and these brought back such happy memories! It is such a magical place! You did introduce me to some sites I have not seen though, so next time I go I will have to check them out! Love you and though it's a couple of weeks off, have a great St. Patrick's Day enjoying the celebrations in true Irish fashion! Aunt Kim
