An old castle on the way....The guide told us the name. But I dont remember. Ireland is filled with castles. Even Athlone has a castle near our home, which was built in some 16th century.

The green grass and  yellow flowers extending for acres, meeting the blue ocean and blue horizon, the view was wonderful!!

  3. Like I said, always great pics. :-) I'm afraid of heights, so I probably would have fainted if I were that close to the edge... especially with no barricade to save me. :P
