My first time in Europe! I was studying abroad in Ireland and while there I visited magical London, home to Prince Harry! And Paris the "city of love" & home of the Eiffel Tower :-D

A road trip around the United Kingdom and travelling throughout Europe!

Tour blurb:En route to Kylemore Abbey, enjoy the spectacular scenery of Connemara, from our own Holy Mountain, Croagh Patrick, to Doolough Valley, with a lake as dark as its history. Walk through the brooding mountains of wild and rugged Connemara, or picnic on one of its beautiful white sandy beac…

My parents visited the green Island.

Although a dream of Catherine, the hot German girl sleeping below me, had woken me up at 4:00 in the morning, I got up for the day at 8:00am.  Unable to find a travel companion in any of my roommate, I ventured out on my own to see the Spanish Arch.  Having only eaten a Power Bar for supp…

Today we headed out of Galway and out into the rugged Connemara Region. We headed deep into the area and arrived at Kylemore Abbey. It was first built as a Manor house but is now home to an all-girl’s boarding school. We had a look about the region before getting back on the bus and heading south…

I took a trip with my best friend to Dublin, Galway, and out to the cliffs of Moher. The trip was far too brief, and far too windy and cold, but wonderful all the same. There's nothing quite like visiting the stomping grounds of your ancestors.

Our GPS had been set for the B&B so we decided to check-in before heading out to eat.  We stayed at the Ardwin B&B, which my friends Erin and Ed had stayed in during their trip a few years back.  They had positive reviews in their travel blog so I knew mostly what to expect.&n…

We got to spend a couple hours in the city of GALWAY after learning about the LYNCH STONE and how Mayor James Lynch Fitzstephen hanged his son for Murder. I guess you could say he was partial! Galway was a clean, pretty city and it was afternoon, so the streets were busy with a diverse crowd even t…

I went around the entire island in a two week period.. Ireland is a very beautiful country with a great heritage and diverse landscapes. I have a TON of pictures so I've been kinda lazy and only added the first couple days of the trip so far, but there will be many more to come.

When last we left our intrepid heroine...well, I'm not sure what she was doing but there was probably Guinness involved.   So, here's #2 in the travelogue, whether you like it or not.  :)   Monday was....sleeping in.  I think we finally got out of the hotel by noon.  To…

I arrived at Galway Airport to find a cool breeze and a sunny sky.  After a summer of blazing heat, drought, dead & dying plants in the hot and sticky southern U.S., and longer hours at work than I care to admit to, I knew things were off to a great start. The purpose of my trip to Irelan…

Backpack, a plane ticket, and moi.

Wednesday we decided to drive into Galway on our way to the Cliffs of Moher. Much time wasn't spent here. We walked around for a bit, found a large park by the University. It was time for lunch so we made our way into a little pub (only because the manager was placing a menu on the window outsid…
