region of Ireland.\u00a0 Our first stop was at Aughnanure Castle, built around 1500.\u00a0 There was an entry fee, but I thought it was worth it.\u00a0 They refurbished the castle, although the outside maintains that ancient feel.\u00a0 It had a roof, windows, and the walls were finished.\u00a0 The grounds were manicured and there were gun towers.\u00a0 There were many informational signs about secret spaces and ambush nooks.\u00a0 There were many tales of how awful the O\u2019Flaherty\u2019s were and how badly they treated others.\u00a0 It really brought a new dimension to the experience.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmsphotos.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-5C4kGXh\/A\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\"

here.\u00a0 At Aughnanure, we were one of maybe 15 people at most.\u00a0 Kylemore had hundreds!\u00a0 It\u2019s very striking, set upon the Lough.\u00a0 Unfortunately, when we were there, a large portion was being renovated and scaffolding was very evident.\u00a0 I tried my best to take photos where a tree would conceal it.\u00a0 It\u2019s now a hotel, but they do have tours, restaurant and a gift shop.\u00a0Fred and I stayed here long enough to take a couple of photos and use the loo.\u00a0 I\u2019m glad for my photos, but was happy to get out of there.<\/p>\n<p>We the very short distance to Connemara National Park.\u00a0There were three loop trails here, each one going higher than the next.\u00a0 The weather was very threatening, so Fred and I opted for the shortest loop.\u00a0The views were really beautiful of the inlet to the north.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmsphotos.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-5qR48c3\/A\"><img

view from the top of the lowest loop at Connemara National Park<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>We continued driving, opting to divert to Sky Road, stated to be very scenic.\u00a0 It circled around a peninsula and did not disappoint.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmsphotos.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-J5MwJh8\/A\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\"

ruins of Clifden Castle.\u00a0 We could see the ruins but had a dickens of a time figuring out how to get to them.\u00a0 There was a rough parking area with a huge archway, seemingly about the same vintage as the castle.\u00a0 So we took our chances the track would take us to it.\u00a0 It was quite a way from the castle, but made for a nice walk.\u00a0 The castle ruins were covered in ivy, much if crumbled, but still much of it intact.\u00a0 It had some spectacular arched doorways.\u00a0 The main floorboards were long gone and if you went through one of those doorways, it was a long drop.<\/p>\n<p>That evening, we braved the rain and headed to Dela Restaurant.\u00a0 We scored another window seat and watched the passers-by and were entertained by a woman parking her car in the smallest of parallel parking spots.\u00a0 Fred ordered a whiskey and the waitress was hesitant to serve it to him.\u00a0 Apparently, it was not popular.\u00a0 It was a \u201cpeated\u201d whiskey and had a smokey smell.\u00a0 Fred tried it, but I doubt he\u2019d order it again.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmsphotos.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-ShF3Trr\/A\"><img decoding=\"async\"

visited had crows on top of them. \u00a0We knew we were getting close to our destination because a flock of them would be seen in the air. \u00a0They would perch themselves on top of the towers, as seen here at Ross Errilly Friary. \u00a0They weren&#8217;t really crows, but some sort of other large black bird.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>9\/17 &#8211; <\/strong>Today was a loop around the areas north of Galway.\u00a0 A couple of weeks prior to the trip, I read about the Falcon Walk at Ashford Castle and booked us for the walk at 2pm.\u00a0 That was our priority for the day and we squeezed what we could prior to the walk, with an eye on the clock.<\/p>\n<p>Our first stop was Ross Errilly Friary.\u00a0 This would also be on my top 5 Monastic Sites.\u00a0It was very expansive and well-preserved.\u00a0 It was unusual in that it had two cloisters and had many alleys to explore with impressive towers and archways.\u00a0 We spent a lot of time here and wandering outside in the graveyard and looking for a geocache.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmsphotos.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-2rf2v9g\/A\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\"

floor of Roos Errilly Friary. \u00a0This monastery had lots of features on the second floor such as these stairs and including huge fireplaces. \u00a0The wooden floors had given way long ago, leaving the Friary&#8217;s architecture to the imagination.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Then we drove north around Lough Carra to a rather unpopulated area with country lanes until we got to the parking area for Moore Hall.\u00a0 The area is a forest open to the public.\u00a0 Moore Hall is a little over 200 years old and was torched in the Irish Civil War in 1923.\u00a0What remains is a fa\u00e7ade of a huge mansion in the middle of the woods.\u00a0 It had an eerie quality about it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmsphotos.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-FKvH9rT\/A\"><img decoding=\"async\"

other tourists, we came to Cong.\u00a0 Cong is a cute little village along the River Cong and its claim to fame is that it was where The Quiet Man was filmed.\u00a0 There\u2019s a statue of John Wayne and Maureen O\u2019Hara in the middle of town!\u00a0There\u2019s also an abbey to explore and behind it, a nature walk.\u00a0 The abbey was unimpressive, but the nature walk was beautiful.<\/p>\n<p><a

our Falcon Walk to explore the gardens of Ashford Castle.\u00a0 The castle is a hotel, so the interior is for guests only.\u00a0 The gardens are free to walk around \u2013 they were huge!\u00a0There were even a couple of walled gardens that were off the main pathways and you walked under an archway to get to them.\u00a0 There was obviously a lot of work and care that went into these gardens.\u00a0 While there, we saw a group of three women with their falcons, so got a preview of what was to come!<\/p>\n<p>The Falcon Walk was very informative and I would highly recommend it.\u00a0 Fred and I got our own birds and the guide showed us how to send them off and call them back.\u00a0 They had their own personalities and guide would explain their behavior.\u00a0 At one time, Andes, Fred\u2019s falcon, disappeared.\u00a0I had this moment of fear, thinking we lost their bird! But we found him in one of the walled gardens.\u00a0 We\u2019re not sure why he took off like he did.\u00a0 We found out the reason they raise the falcons is to learn about them and also for hunting excursions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmsphotos.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-jdtJgzz\/A\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-jdtJgzz\/0\/28af7f86\/S\/P1030680-S.jpg\" alt=\"Fred and Andes\" \/><\/a><em>Fred, bonding with <\/em>Andes<em>. \u00a0There was a point we were in the deep woods and signaled the falcons to return and it was unbelievable how they navigated the branches with such agility!<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So for anyone visiting the area, seriously consider this experience \u2013 you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n<p>That evening, we had dinner again at Ard Bia \u2013 we liked it so much.\u00a0 They had bookshelves full of decorations and I noticed an Ard Bia cookbook.\u00a0 Guess what\u2019s sitting on our shelf now!<\/p>\n<p><strong>9\/18 \u2013 <\/strong>Today was the journey back to Dublin for our flight home tomorrow.\u00a0 We diverted off of M6 to do the Rindoon Loop walk at Lough Ree.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmsphotos.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-F7K36CW\/A\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-F7K36CW\/0\/0693c92a\/S\/P1030691-S.jpg\" alt=\"Rindoon Loop Walk\" \/><\/a><em>The remains of the castle at Rindoon. \u00a0Pictures I saw on the internet didn&#8217;t show all the trees around it and made it appear that you could explore it. \u00a0But it was so overgrown, we couldn&#8217;t find a way in.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This was really remote and I don\u2019t remember seeing another person there during the hour and a half we were there.\u00a0 It had ruins, graveyards, a castle so overgrown with trees and shrubbery you couldn\u2019t get close to it.\u00a0 Sometimes the trail was right next to the shoreline, other times you were expected to cross a huge field and be able to find the trail on the other side.\u00a0 The castle was built in the 1200s and there used to be an entire town of 1000 people.\u00a0 There are remains of a church, hospital, and windmill.\u00a0 Many places were extremely muddy and you often shared the field with sheep.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmsphotos.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-2jd2ZsX\/A\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-2jd2ZsX\/0\/e42b32df\/S\/P1030699-S.jpg\" alt=\"Kilbeggen Whiskey Distillary\" \/><\/a>We also visited Kilbeggen Whiskey Distillery.\u00a0 We opted to do a self-tour and Fred did a little whiskey tasting at the end.\u00a0 I had a wee sip of each, not being a whiskey-drinker myself.\u00a0 The \u201cpeated\u201d whiskey he had at Dela Restaurant was one of their sipping pours.\u00a0 I kind of liked it.<\/p>\n<p>So that finishes up our trip to Ireland.\u00a0 It\u2019s beautiful and green, with lots of ruins and graveyards!\u00a0 Weather is damp and be sure to wear waterproof shoes, and be prepared for mud anywhere you get off the asphalt.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmsphotos.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-VDQQtKm\/A\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Ireland-2017\/i-VDQQtKm\/1\/9338e9e2\/M\/P1030694-M.jpg\" alt=\"Rindoon Loop Walk\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Leaving you with an idyllic picture of an Ireland landscape &#8211; taken at Rindoon<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9\/16 \u2013 I forgot my camera today!\u00a0 Fortunately, I had my iPad.
