from the east out to the western shore, where many men and many more will fall...

sorry for the hiatus. after seeing all the ruins on the first day, we hopped a bus tour around most of ireland. one of the days on the bus tour was going to the ring of kerry. ireland is truly one of the most beautiful places i have been.

from glen to glen, and down the mountainside...

so after being in salamanca and madrid, some of my family and i went to ireland. we had a really great time and saw so much of the country. our first day we took a tour with a really nice gentleman that showed us newgrange, the hill of tara and the hill of slane. all of the pictures below are from those locations. hopefully you enjoy!

i'm pointed home, we've still got time. raise your hopeful voice...

sorry for a bit of a hiatus there. so after madrid with the family, we took a look around spain together. we went back to salamanca and i finally explored ávila for a little tiny bit. we had a lot of fun doing that. we ended up in ávila due to a bit of bad directing on my part on the highway, but i did not have a map, so the fact that we got there without major problems is pretty impressive i think.


one of the longer days in my life was spent again in granada. it is a beautiful city that everyone should see, but driving eight hours in a day to see the city and staying until 12a is hard. we went to the alhambra, walked the city a bit, ate kebap and saw some flamenco. so it was good, but we did not get back to madrid until 4am. so that was rough.


but here is a bit of "what went down"
