Going For A Drive

Around Thanksgiving weekend we went for a small trip to the west coast of Ireland.  During that trip we drove along the Burren.  Below are some of the pictures we took on our drive.  We had little time especially since our little Tater-Tot started to catch a virus that day.

The one time being stuck behind a tractor is not so bad.

 

 

The picture below is of a Stone Cross.

 

 

 

Below is Leamaneh Castle dates back to 1490 and is the home of the infamous Maire Rua

In Enlgish her name was Mary O'Brien (Little Mary).  I looked up information on her and it wasn't pleasant.  Not something I want to read again.

Below is remains of old Irish home and the picture above is the walking trail to go see it.

 

 

 

The two pictures below are remains of an old church.

 

 

 

 

And finally what we had been waiting to see!

 

We kept waiting for a leprechaun or a hobbit to come out of this hole but nothing ever happened.
