Ben's grandparents' lovely home (and the house my MiL grew up in!)
The view down the street from their house. Now this is a view!
The Irish countryside
Various pictures around town in Letterkenny, Ireland
(Can you read Gaelic?)
The church where Ben's parents were married :) -in Londonderry, Northern Ireland
Beautiful architecture around Londonderry
Entering under the gates of the "walled city" -Londonderry
Guildhall
Can you see the ice on the ground? We had to hold on to each other to not slip!
Walking on the walls around the city
If Ben & I ever get to build our own home, I can assure you our front door will look like this:
A thatched-roof cottage in the middle of the city!!
I loved the colors and the architecture all throughout the city
The crest of Derry
St. Columb's Cathedral in Londonderry, Northern Ireland
Murals on the side of buildings in "Free Derry"--remembering The Troubles
A mini on Benone Strand (Ireland's longest beach)
You can see Mussenden Temple in the distance
I'm not a big fan of my profile, but I had to show off my husband's photography skills
Can you imagine having a waterfall behind your house? How cool
Mussenden Temple--the sky was just amazing this day
Downhill Estate
The entrance to the gardens of Downhill Estate
the ruins of Dunluce Castle
built in the Middle Ages right on a cliff--how did they do this!?
Us, a little squinty, in front of Dunluce Castle
In the 1600's the kitchen fell right off the back of the house into the ocean during a storm--supposedly took a couple of cooks with it!
Bushmills Whiskey Distillery--the oldest licensed distillery in the world
Giant's Causeway
A volcanic eruption (along with other natural events) formed these hexagonal basalt columns.
They were pretty fun to climb
Ben & me at the top
*sigh* I want to go back.
