Travel Photos: Ireland

Howdy. These are just a few of the photos from our recent crump ova Europe trip. Sorry for the size, but I'd be here all night waiting for the larger ones to load.


A view of Dublin and the Liffey River



Check it! Maggie riding shotgun in our rental, the efficient Toyata Yaris





Maggie with some of her distant cousins. They're sitting in the families original farm house, which still has a thatch roof. This is the kitchen. There are two more rooms, both smaller. This farm house held Mom and Dad, plus eleven children


Hopping out of the tractor is Paddy, the only son of those eleven children. He runs his small cattle and sheep farm single-handedly, excepting the help of two incredible dogs. When Maggie asked him what breed of dog they were, Paddy paused for moment and then said, "Oh, they're just Irish Sheep Dogs."



The Cliffs of Moher



There wasn't a bull for miles, only another view of the Cliffs of Moher

That's all for now. Photos of France and Prague to follow. Tomorrow I'm off by myself on a trip to the mountains of Northern Italy and Southern Switzerland.
