IRELAND— We had the opportunity to travel to the Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands, and Kylemore Abbey. The Cliffs of Moher, located on the west coast of Ireland, present a spectacular view of the cliffside and the sea. There are no words to describe the beauty of the Aran Islands, which belong to Galway. The Aran Islands are recognized as an authentic piece of Ireland because the townspeople continue to live in primitive ways. Irish is the native language of each of the islands – Inishmore, the big island,  Inisheer, the east island and Inishmaan, the middle island. Kylemore Abbey is a gorgeous castle surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful gardens. It was a lovely weekend full of sunshine, which is truly rare in Ireland!
