Some pictures from my latest trip to Ireland


Main Street, the town my parents live in:


Saint Mulroons Church, built in the 1200's, it is across the river from my parents house, and what you see when you look out the kitchen window:


My parents live on Bridge Street, the last house before the bridge, over the river Suir. Here is a plaque that's on the bridge:


Here is a shot of the bridge, known as the Old Bridge:


Another shot of the Old Bridge, which is outside my parents front door:


My parents house from the other side of the bridge:


We went to Tramore, which is a coastal resort town, outside of Waterford. Here are a few shots from there. They include, My dad, down on the landing; Me, down on the landing; and The stairs to get down to the landing:


We then went to Annestown, which is on the south easter coast of Ireland, in Waterford County. Here are some pictures of the beach there:

SPECTACULAR!

I have a little Irish blood flowing in me, so your pictures made me want to pack my bags, and get over there. Never been...

The Main Street picture was so great, and I can imagine what the inside of that church feels like. I would spend a great deal of time either gazing at, or standing on your parents' bridge, though.

Then, the beach really did it for me. I'm such a huge water person, and those great green Irish rocks sticking out of the tide just called to me.

Thank you for those pictures, Tess...

That's some awesome scenery, very unique. Can't find things like that anywhere else.

I am hoping to go back over the summer, and then really get some pictures of the countryside in all of it's green glory, and when the temperature is above 45 degrees. I froze over there!

Saint Mulroons is a very humbling church to enter. I do not think that I will ever forget dipping my hand into the holy water basin, and the feeling that I had when I realized I was just one in 800 years worth of people who had done that. I can't even begin to explain what it felt like to think of all the souls that had been there before me, doing the same thing.

I'm going back to work!

Did you see the bottom of the bridge plaque that reads that boys are fishing from a bridge built before Columbus even raised a sail?

I love history!

LOl Brian stole my question. I really really want to go to Ireland. Oh I can't wait to just travel the world some day. Ireland would definitely be my first stop though .. on my way to Japan.

Hah! The full sign reads unisex salon. It's a hairdressers. I saw that when I posted it, and I did chuckle at the partial sign.
