ok... so lots of photos today!!!! sorry, i'm in a bit of a rush and they're sortof backwards, butttt, i trust you'll manage. we've been up to alot of fun stuff. aran islands, taking walks when the weather allows, all sorts of things. the weather though is just awful. sorry, i know ireland rains alot but it's rained almost everyday since ive been here. even the locals, the radio jockeys, everybody is sick of it. haha well, what can you do. just get wet!!



this is dad pumping some water from a pump in the neighbors field. we brought a bunch of jugs with us but turned out the water was dirty. no bother, a neat thing to see
this is a night time photo i took of the cottage. just playing with all the funny gadgets on my camera. i'll get better


haha, this is a bank on the aran islands. haha dad says it's like a piggy bank. the population on the island is 800. you do the math.




whoops, sideways. sorry, can't figure out how to fix it. anyway, this is dun angeus on the aran islands, the premier attraction. it's a big semi-circular fort at the top of a cliff. it's really something to see



this is the view looking down from the top of the fort. the water for some reason is clear and spectacular. it'd be tropical if it wasn't blistering cold, windy, and rainy all day.



here's us, dry as a bone, at the top of the cliff. i was tempted to take a dive in if i wasn't already so refreshingly soaked to the bone!!! good stuff though



here's dad at the top. not sure how high, but this give you a little idea of the proportion and scale. windy too, don't get too close there pops



same one, i can't get it to delete. sorry




hmmm....... think i'll keep my distance.




this was neat. the aran islands are basically large chunks of limestone coming out of the ocean, so you get these neat fields of boulders. this one stretched for a mile in each direction.




an old bar. well kept




ahh that's all for now. more to come
