This is a picture of the Breaffy House that we stayed at in Castlebar. The rooms were all different, it was pretty cool! First, we drove to the Westport House in Westport - it was closed for the winter and under construction, so we didn't get any pictures... Next, we drove thru the Dhulough Pass near the mountains above picture of the Aasleagh Falls and a roadside picture) to the Kylemoor Abbey, so beautiful :) The abbey is still functioning as a school for young girls from all over the world. We were able to see a few rooms inside the Abbey along with taking a stroll
to the church and a little stroll farther to a musoleum.
Day 2 - On this trip, which was a package deal (included airfare, car rental and 6 nights hotel stay) it consisted of us staying at 3 different hotels. The first night was outside Dublin (which will be our last night as well). So, on day 2 we left Dublin to our next hotel in Castlebar (NorthWest area). First we drove north of Dublin to a town called Howth, there we saw the Bailey's Lighthouse. Next, we drove north a little more out to Bru na Boinne Co. Meath (the palace or the mansion of the Boyne, the name given to one of the world's most important archaelogical landscapes, dominated by the spectacular prehistoric passage tombs of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth). We visited Newgrange, the best known Irish passage tomb is surrounded by 97 stones. It was excavated between 1962-1975, and is 5000 years old.
