castalieHello from Galway *waves* We arrived on Wednesday and will be leaving tomorrow for Dublin again. I enjoyed Kilkenny just fine, but my favourites places are definitely Dublin and Galway; both for different reasons as they're pretty different cities/areas.
We spent the day on Inis Mor yesterday, one of the Aran islands, and had a blast! The island is gorgeous! I wanted to see and touch the famous Irish stone walls? I sure got my wish! And it was so sunny, too! Which was a good thing as Sandra and I biked around the island in the morning, and walked in the afternoon (we saw seals!). It was so quiet there; living in the city, one tends to forget how quiet and peaceful the world can be sometimes. Inis Mor reminded us yesterday :-)
Today was a whole day in the Connemara including Kylemore Abbey and the Unagh Valley. We also had a coffee break in the Leenage village where they shot The Field, with Sean Bean. We went in the pub that featured in the film. That was fun :-) Incidentally we also saw where they shot The Quiet Man - I love that kind of trivia.
All of that was done under the rain, this time - it's still raining, as a matter of fact - but it gave a lot of charm to the places - also, it finally gave me a reason to use my waterproof coat \o/ Real first time since we got here :-)
I wanted to share some of my photos but I'm having trouble with my LJ scrapbook so it'll have to wait.
Changing the subject, having free wi-fi in our room is l.o.v.e! I was able to really appreciate some of the latest Panic videos that have been going around and hee Brendon singing Don't Stop Believing! Be still my heart! With some sneaky!Pete thrown in the mix, what's not to love?

Sinon c'est marrant mais aujourd'hui j'ai regardé le film Reign of fire avec Christian Bale, apparemment le film a été tourné en Irlande, Dublin plus précisément. Je ne sais pas si il reste quelque-chose de ce tournage mais pense à moi pour les photos ^^
Bisous!!

Date: 2009-08-15 06:43 pm (UTC)I fell in love with Dublin and then fell in love with Galway, it's such a gorgeous place! I need to go back actually, because there're many things we didn't have the time to do, like the Cliff of Moher, for instance. I also want to walk the promenade, we didn't have the time to do that either. But between visiting the city when we got there, then Inis Mor and the Connemara, I feel very lucky ;-)
