An Island I cannot pronounce
16 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F

Ring of Kerry
13 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

Muckross House
13 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

Ross Castle
13 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
This was a cool tower house. It's actually a peninsula. The only thing keeping this from being a true island is the stone bridge which is the only way to get to the house by land.
So much history! WeЧитать далее

Rock of Cashel
12 июля 2023 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
Wow! So impressive. It took 600 years to build this. And that was just the first part! The Graveyard was so spiritual. Very, very old Graves, but also some as new as 2009.
Paul, our driver, told usЧитать далее
