After leaving Belfast, we headed back into the Republic of Ireland.  We crossed the countryside and headed into Leitrim County, where we spent a good chunk of the afternoon.  Our first stop took us to the famous Glencar Waterfalls.  There we took some time to reflect on nature...(we also took some photos!).  W. B. Yeats made this waterfall famous in his poem "The Stolen Child".

A friend of my dad's took us up for a flight in his Cessna plane, from Sligo airport around the coast of Sligo, Leitrim (small enough as the coast is) and then around our home village and town. Enjoy the photos of Ireland's beautiful western coastline

Our last stop before heading back to Dublin was Carrick on Shannon for an optional river cruise.  We opted not to do this either, and we walked around town instead.  It was a small place, and we found a little cafe on the corner to eat lunch.  The day was beautiful, so we sat outside to wait for the boat crew to get back.
