"Ireland 2009" Personal Page by LadyXoc

After chucking our travel bags into our hotel room in Bray we jumped on the bus to Glendalough. Yeah, my hair is purple. Leftovers from my Zombie Bagpiper Halloween costume. Luckily it matched the kilt Derek wore at his wedding the next day!
from Wikipedia- Glendalough (Irish: Gleann Dá Loch, meaning "Glen of Two Lakes") is a glacial valley located in County Wicklow, Ireland, renowned for its Early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin, a hermit priest, and destroyed in 1398 by English troops.

Bray Cliffwalk

On day 2 we got up before dawn and hiked the Bray Cliffwalk.

Myself and the groom

This is the groom, Derek. We were in the same pipe band in the midwest. I had the fortune of being his first piping student! And see? Purple Kilt which matches my hair :)

Hangover to go

I think the name of this store says it all.
Day 3 we spent tripping around Dublin. Of course making a stop at the Guinnes brewery and the Gravity bar.

Day 3 we took a train to Galway. You can take the train from Dublin to Galway. At the time it was €10 one way and got you across the country in 3 hours.

Cliffs of Moher

This was my second visit to the Cliffs. I am happy to say the first was in better weather. This day killed my digital camera. Windy, rainy, and cold.
