A Wedding in Ireland (Day 6)

As promised, Nina let me walk Jackson this morning!  :-)

According to Sheila, she never lets anyone walk him even her granddaughter!?!

I feel so special now!  I was so thankful because it's been awhile since I've been responsible for a dog.  I really miss it.  :-)

Our group is a little smaller now since some of our friends have parted ways with us, but we were back on a bus for more sightseeing.  We also had to say, "goodbye," to Blackwater Castle.

Many thanks to the owners and staff for their hospitality!!!  :-)

We slowly passed through the town of Limerick.

I took shots of the common houses.

That's Bunratty Castle.

More meadows!

Passing through Ennistymon.

Lovely meadows again!

On our way to the...

Cliffs of Moher!!!

This was one of our planned stops...

along our way to Galway.

I really didn't know which way to go because there was a fork along the path.

I chose to go right which turned-out to be the better choice.

We got cows here!?!

I bumped into Cassandra's grandparents, Linda and Wayne...

 and they led me to the best parts of this place!

See?

It's crazy because one slip off this hill and you're done!

Linda said we should go over to that ledge!?!

These two were great because they offered to take photos of me all the time.

The views were incredible!

I decided to sit on the ledge.

Then Wayne took a shot of me.  This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!  :-)

The path looked like it could go on forever,

but we decided to stay near the top for more photo opportunities.  ;-)

"Canada is over there!"

Huh, there's some kind of love fence here.

It must work because as we were walking, a couple asked me to take a photo of them and then all of the sudden the boyfriend got on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend right then and there!?!  It was an amazing moment!

Congratulations to Shelly and Perry of Costa Mesa!!!  :-)

It was time to head back to our bus.

Big thanks to Douglas for paying for our visit here!!!  :-) 

On the road again.

This hill is just covered with rocks!?!

We eventually arrived in Galway...

and I checked into my room...

at The Galmont Hotel & Spa!  :-)

A bunch of us had dinner at Osteria Italiana da Simone!  Then it was time to go to bed.  Haha!

A Wedding in Ireland (Day 5)

I promised Judymay that I would accompany her up the tower this morning...

because she was a little scared to go all the way to the top by herself.

I love how Trevor and Cassandra flew the Stark flag here!  :-)

Yay!  Judymay made it!

In this photo we have the secret garden to the left, the dormitories in the middle, and the coach house on the right.

Man, I don't think Chris is afraid of anything!?!

You can already see the weather changing from up here.

Ego portrait time.

Awww, what a sweetheart.  :-)

Trevor was flying his drone while we were up here.

Shelene joined us too.

Back to the dormitory, I go.

I love Blackwater Castle and its owners, Patrick and Sheila!

Eventually, Christina, Marshall, and Cody woke-up,

so we decided to walk over to the closest town pub.

I can see the neighbours from here!

We saw someone up ahead walking her dog!

It was Patrick's mother, Nina and her dog, Jackson!

Jackson was so excited to meet us...

and quite submissive.

He's a wired-haired Dachshund...

and got his name from Michael Jackson because he stayed at the castle once.

He's a wise-looking boy.  :-)

We were all amazed on how narrow the streets are in this town.

Here it is, The Rockforest Bar!  :-)

But of course.  ;-)

This is Michael, the owner and this is his hurling stick.  Haha!

Oh dude, I love this urinal wall!?!  It's just a wall with a little drain in the corner!?!

Hey Christina!

You went into the wrong bathroom!  Haha!

I was so curious about life in this small town.

A place this small, everyone here must know each other?!?

As the evening rolled-in, so did the locals and all the friends and family from our group.

The newlyweds gave all of us a private screening of their new web series, "Life XP"!

Michael arranged for some of the locals to play live music for us tonight!

And we just danced the night away...

or should I say, "tapped."  ;-)
