More Powerscourt and a Drive to Wicklow

It made me laugh that this was the "Forest Car Park"
I love Crystal.
This was the pet cemetery at Powerscourt.  I thought the name on this one was funny.

Attempting Photography



This picture took awhile to get right.

Jacopo: "I bid you good afternoon, sir. I am here to purchase your lovely home."

These were taken at Powerscourt where part of the Count of Monte Cristo was filmed.  It was absolutely beautiful here.  We had fun with the fountains.
The Japanese garden.

More Rock of Cashel and an Abbey

This was taken at the abbey below Rock of Cashel where the monks lived.  It's hard to imagine what the place looked like when people lived here.
I was trying to impersonate the face on the side of the castle.
These were fun.

Rock of Cashel and a Random Graveyard

I loved this place.  It's an old castle built on a hill of rocks.  Absolutely beautiful architecture and design.

This was the inside of an old building we found at a graveyard.  It's hard to imagine that people used to use this building for something.  Probably to house dead bodies before they were buried.  I felt like I was in a fairytale here.
The graveyard.
Crystal hopping the wall to get in.

More Dingle...

I sat in poop.  Gross.

In some places the streams run right into the road.  I love it here.
The roads are terrifying.  They are so narrow and this one literally had a drop on the other side of it.

But the view is totally worth driving on those roads.
