Day Trip to Galway


On the train!

Ruins of a castle with a impossible to pronounce name.

"Best preserved" remains of an old fort.

View from the bus--don't know who's reflection that is though!

The tour bus. Yay!


Sheep!

The wall around the fort.

An ancient Celtic tomb.

Pub for lunch! Delicious for most (Sorry Kasey and Mike, but pricey)

Gazing over at the cliffs. Beautiful!

Many photos were taken.

Cliff edge.

Yes, I took a lot of pictures of these cliffs. They were majestic, okay?! ;-)







The Visitor Center! Carved into the hill like a Hobbit house in the Shire.

There were actually signs that said do not jump or had stick figures pantomiming the consequences. I would think that this would be obvious, but maybe not!
Haha! This is my PO'd face, but I promise, I wasn't angry at all. On the train ride back, we were all a little crazy, and I was just making faces. ;-)
For example--here is Kasey getting very into a song on her iPod. ;-)

And just to change things up, I will have a guest blogger tonight! Here's the woman herself--Kasey! ;-)

hi all of you readers out there in blogville , kasey here , i am one of hillary's flatmates. i have had the privledge of living with hillary for the past two weeks and am happy to report to report that she is completley normal. we have been traveling all over ireland and the irish countryside. she deals with my weirdness greatly as i do with hers. i have to admit when i met her i thought she would have more of a southern accent, but surprisingly she talks with just a little one. so this weekend we went to galway and the cliffs of moher and as hillary may soon tell you i was OBSESSED with the cows and sheep. they are just so cute!!!!! :)

we saw the cliffs, and thankfully i talked her out of jumping off for a quick swim in the atlantic. simply reminding her that the water would be very cold lol. the train ride home was quite entertaining , we were all very over tired. as you will see in the video posted , i decided to give a concert on the train. i apologize that i am a bad singer, but i had a blast doing it.

anywhoo i will now transfer the blogging back to its truthful owner the one and only Hillary Beasley ......

That was Kasey, everyone! And she really took a lot of pictures of cows, and every time we passed some on the train or bus, she was kind enough to alert the rest of the passengers by squealing. ;-) Also, she and the other Hillary tried to call the sheep by cooing, "Here, sheep-sheep-sheep!" It didn't work, sadly.

Our trip to the Cliffs and all the stops made for a great Saturday!!

  1. Completely normal my butt. I guess two weeks just ain't long enough. Why didn't you serenade everyone, huh?

    Those cliffs ARE majestic. I enjoyed the repetitive shots. ;) Oh, and the Celtic tomb! Spiffy.

    Yay Ireland!!
