Climbing Diamond Hill
June 19, 2008 by Jen.
We drove through some beautiful countryside today. We stopped at the Kylemore Abbey for some pictures, and saw some beautiful mountains (called “Bens” as in Benbrack instead of Mt. Brack, etc.). In Connemara National Park there are many of these bare, high mountains. So, we climbed one. It was amazing. Jason’s watch altimeter was working hard. Apparently the “hill” is 445 meters. As we were climbing, we could see people up at the ridge and summit, and we thought: “Wow! we’re going there!” It was so cool. A great hike, great exercise, amazing weather, and a yummy soup, sandwich, scone, tea at the bottom when we finished. Perfect day.

Sunset on Sky Road
June 19, 2008 by Jen.
After our arrival in Clifden on Wednesday night and a delicious Thai supper in a local restaurant, we took the advice of our kind hostess and drove up the Sky Road to see the sunset. It was amazing! I think we’re going to try to go again tonight because it is just spectacular. Check it:

Nina and Jen’s Cliff Walk
June 19, 2008 by Jen.
On Tuesday, Alita had to work and Jason wasn’t feeling great, so Nina and I headed off on our own to the small town of Bray on the coast, just south of Dublin. Starting at the southern tip of Bray there is a fabulous cliff walk along the coast down to the next town, Greystones. We had a lovely time. The weather was perfect for our little adventure. When we arrived in Greystones we found a great little cafe, highly recommended by Alita, and had some dessert and coffee and a smoothie before we took the train back to Dublin. It was a gorgeous walk!
