Day 11 – The Best has Passed but it’s still Great(p2)

I swear, it's amazing how easy it is to drop a blog way down on your priorities once you have a lot of stuff going on. To those still following I really am gonna finish, I said I would I'll do it.

Another amazing picture

 Speaking of Connemara Marble, all of the marble in this chapel is that same marble and it looks amazing. All those colors are marble: blue, white, red, black and green. I just wish the shots had come out more clear.

 Outside after the rain had stopped.

 Goodbye Abbey. Hate to leave but love to watch while I go . 

More of day 11 next time, but Kylemore made for the best pictures of this day by far. I bloody love them

Day 11 – The Best has Passed but it’s still Great

Today we’ll be visiting Kylemore Abbey and Connemara, as well as a visit to the Connemara Marble cutters and ending at the Ardilaun in Galway again.

They’re burning peat logs. They have a very different smell than wood, it’s earthy and quite pleasant.

I've also since had scotch made with peat, it was amazing.

 The Connemara Marble place, perhaps their headquarters?

 I got a piece here. A dark green cutout in the shape of Ireland.

 Kylemore Abbey has an astounding profile. Seeing it emerge from the trees next to the lake as we approached was beyond words. This entire setting was just so very exquisite.

I'll finish Kylemore next time, there's still a lot of pictures of it
