Driving through Ireland

Derrick and I explored #Ireland by car for the next couple of days. It was absolutely beautiful! I don't think I can begin to explain, it is rugid and romantic at the same time, soft rolling green hills with a constant wind biting your face, all the while you happen upon old ruins everywhere.

We drove south for a day, then headed all the way to the west coast. We then followed the coast north before cutting accross again to BElfast. I will post pictures and a map when I get back but here is a running list of sights so far:

(Note: Old = 1000BC and later, Really old = 500AD and later, Ancient = 500AD or earlier)

Old Castles: 3
Old Churches: 4
Really old monestaries or churches: 2
Really old fort
Ancient fort
Ancient tombs: 3
Cliffs of Moher
Oscar Wildes' house
Man walking his goat
Traditional Irish music (Trad Sessions): 2
