Hello from Choisy-le-Roi *waves less enthusiastically than before* Irish trip over, I'm back home. And very sad not to be in Ireland any longer but a) all good things come to an end and b) if I want to go back there one day, I needed to leave, so.

I got home around 6.45 PM and I had no electricity! When I managed to get it back, I tried to switch Dean on and it didn't want to start! Talk about a welcome home *pout* But everything is back to normal now, so all's good!

I wanted to share some of the photos I couldn't the other day;
A pub. I love that pic because I bought a postcard that pretty much looks like that photo, entitled "the morning after the night before" :-)


View of Galway from the harbour, Claddagh (Galways is where the Claddagh comes from)


Again


St Nicholas' church


View of Inis Mor from the ferry - it was grey when we arrived, then got sunny late morning and I even got a nice sunburn to prove it!


Inis Mor - on bike at this point. Look! Stone walls!


And again


Yes, again :-)


Connemara


Foggy Connemara - that was pretty much the only rainy day we had.


Again


Kylemore Abbey (originally Kylemore castle where Mitchell Henry and his wife Margaret lived for a while).


Kylemore Abbey again


Mausoleum where Mitchell and Margaret Henry are buried

And omg! Complete change of subject but I kept in touch with the family and other assorted friends during my trip via phone calls and text messages and whatnot, and my goddaughter walks! We knew it was coming, mind, and I did ask her to wait for me to be back from Ireland before taking her real first steps, but do kids listen to you? Of course not! So she started walking (well, toddling I guess would be a more accurate word) last week. It's the cutest thing EVER. I'm seeing her tomorrow and I just cannot wait! *bounces*

Ok, now, off to download all the pics and videos of Panic and MyChem that I couldn't when I was away.

PS: Hey, LJ's location thingie doesn't really work that well! Ivry is where my sister lives not me! You big liar.

You were wearing your claddagh? Nice touch!

Seeing her walk was extremely exciting. They grow up so fast omg!

Yay, you're back! I mean "yay" for us, because for you it's probably not as exciting lol

Nice pics, very atmospheric!

Have fun catching up! :)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Lol It's nice to know you were missed so 'yay' indeed *g*

'Atmospheric'? I like the sound of that! Thanks, and you're welcome *g*

Beautiful pics!! We had a tour guide on Inis Mor who was completely hilarious. We went past a huge pile of rocks and he said it was where they kept their spare rocks in case they ever ran out. LOL. He was great.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! So you went there too? I guess we all do the same tours, don't we? Your guide sounds like a lot of fun *g*

a) welcome back! (and sorry about the lack of electricity - how rude)

b) *squee* pictures! Dude, that Kylemore Abbey looks fantastic!

c) she walks! How cute! Can't wait for you to actually see her walk :D

[castalie.livejournal.com]

a) Yeah, what's even ruder is that there's a leak in my toilets. It's not exactly the kind of welcome home I was hoping for!

b) Oh, man, the Kylemore Abbey was absolutely gorgeous! And had such a great story/history.

c) She does! I saw it with me own eyes! It's so exciting *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Those are beautiful pictures.

And walking! That's so awesome.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed them *g*

And it is, it really is :-)

OMG OMG Chiara walks!!!! Me want a video^^

Your photos are amaizing, the foggy ones are so beautiful, as the connemara ones.

not related, je suis restée deux jours sans toucher mon ordi du coup je découvre à l'instant ton poste. Je sais c'est inconcevable de ne pas aller sur l'ordi au moins une fois par jour lol disons que j'ai commencé à réaménager plein de choses notamment ma chambre (j'ai mis mes figurines à l'abri de psycho Jack quand il est en mode jeu) j'ai vidé ma vitrine de la salle à manger pour y ranger toute la vaisselle (en vue de réaménager la cuisine)du coup j'ai du tout mettre dans ma pauvre armoire (je prendrais des photos...).
Le seul problème c'est la chaleur, pas question que je m'embarque dans les travaux tout de suite.

Je te phone^^

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'll totally show you, mate *g* I'm only too happy to share!

Faudra que tu me montres des photos, tiens.

[krazykipper.livejournal.com]

I can't see the photos on this comp, but I'm glad you had such a good time! Ireland is a beautiful coutnry.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Ireland is beautiful, I'm so glad I went there! I keep talking about it to everyone around me!

[babydracky.livejournal.com]

*fait sa crise et se roule par terre un bon coup*

En tout cas bon retour parmi nouuuuuuuuuuuus!!!^O^

*Pouic* Arrête de faire la tronche, veux-tu? xD

Merci bien :-)

[turlough]

You've been to so many beautiful places!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I have! It's so incredible being able to leave home and visit other countries. Not that I don't love France, I do. But there's always something special about a foreign country :-)

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Yay, photos! And thanks so much for the postcard, sweetie, it's gorgeous ♥!

And Chiara is walking? Everyone will need eyes in the back of their head to keep a track of her ^_____^!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome :-)

She is! When my sister sent me the video of her taking her first steps, I replied with a mighty squee, then wished them luck lol
