For the record, I'm trying to get others to write for this blog... I'm not intentionally trying to be the only voice here, but I'll keep this one short... Thank you Evan and Nate for writing already...
From my perspective, I visited the most beautiful place on earth today - Kylemore Abbey/castle - just google this and see some of the amazing images - it may be the most beautiful place on earth - the Irish countryside has fully enchanted me as well - my words won't do the scenery here justice - absolutely beautiful - pastoral - no billboards - sheep - stone bridges - stony creeks - green - sheep - single-lane highways - sheep - Yeats - more Yeats - sheep - Celtic history - mist - stunning views - mountains - immaculate homes and farms - sheep - green - sheep - fresh air...
We also went to Coole Park - it was, well, cool... another hangout of George Bernard Shaw, Lady Gregory, William Butler Yeats, others...
Also, if any of you have seen "The Quiet Man" - great movie with John Wayne - people love that movie here - saw the place it was filmed - kind of a national treasure here as well...
Anyways, I'm signing out, hopefully I can talk one of the students into signing in later... it would be good to hear their perspective as well...

p.s. last day tomorrow - main stop: Cliffs of Moher!
Thanks for your beautiful description Jon. I am hoping Krystyny has been inspired and will come back and paint many of the different places and scenes she has experienced.
