Monday



Monday 12/3/12 we left Ashford to another castle turned abbey, Kylemore Abbey.


On the way to Kylemore we saw this wandering sheep.  Great photo eh!! :)  We also drove along the Killary fjord, Ireland's only fjord.  It's not quite up to it's summer beauty.  This picture is a typical cemetery, but with the fjord in the background.


Kylmore has an interesting history, it's romantic and tragic, you can read about the Henry's on the Kylemore link.  This was our second time to visit, it is as pretty as ever!  The walled gardens were welled groomed, but the flowers were only just being put in.  Walking along the lake and the whole setting beside a mountain, chorus of birds chirping, etc made me a bit nostalgic, felt like walking along the lakes in southern Alberta.  Very peaceful!
