When I first moved to Ireland, I was living in the country for a few months. Behind the house was a large field, which would sometimes have cows grazing. I would see them when I hung my clothes on the line to dry, and watch them in the evenings as they went off to be milked. Obviously cows aren't milked by hand anymore, as it's too slow, so I was really curious about how they're milked now. Flash forward 2 years and I finally got to get up close and personal!
On Saturday, Killian and I went to see Dunamase Castle. It's not too far from where we're living, and it's been on my wishlist for years! It's one of the castles that's more in ruins than still standing up. But I love that kind of thing.
One of my favorite trips was our day trip to Glendalough (pronounced Glenda-lock). It was originally a sanctuary, and you could really feel the peace of the place. Everything was so lush and calm. And as someone who loves old cemeteries with so much history, this was the perfect place to be.
