Connemara, Kylemore Abbey and The Cliffs of Moher

Trying to spend as less time as I can at the internet house, so I`ll post only the photos as the comments.
See ya soon!

First cities

Well, here I am again, at the publand. I`ll try to be short, because I don't want to spend neither time or money online, once both can be converted in Guinness.

CLONMACNOISE and SHANNONBRIDGE

Clonmacnoise is the perfect example of the expression 'in the middle of nowhere'. It is a 7 km road sided by farms. What brings lots of people there is the ruins of a monastery from the X century.

the monastery cemetery ruins


Then, there is Shannobridge, at the end of the road which Irish like to call a city. It's not a 7 km road; it's a 3km street which shelters 3 pubs..

the Shanon river and the bridge

the pub - 100 years standing.
Well, I have to go. Hope to post more photos soon!
