Connemarra

This weekend some friends and I decided to go to Connemarra for the day. It was gorgeous! We stayed in a little town called Clifden, which is near the Connemarra National Park. Clifden was adorable, and I am now convinced that if I ever moved here permanently I would move there. After a warm lunch in a cozy little pub we rented bikes to go explore. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, it was just what you imagine Ireland to be. About half way through our ride we saw a castle off the road, which left us little choice but to go and explore. So we walked our bikes down the rambling dirt road, managed to avoid the freaky looking cows, and discovered a long lost castle (well, that's what it felt like at least). It was the perfect Irish adventure! I will try to post pictures again, but it hasn't been working well lately.
