Last of Ireland, but more travels ahead

Ireland was fun.
We meet a lot of interesting and fun people. Saw a lot of interesting things and learned a lot about Ireland. Saw the country side by train and bus. Ate amazing local food. Immersed ourselves in the local culture. Had a ghost haunting the hall of the B an B. Saw endless amounts of castles. Visited the last port of call of the Titanic. Hung my feet off the Cliffs of Moher. Krista was able to able to enjoy a frothy Guinness freshly brewed. Rode along the Ring of Kerry. Randomly stopped to stretch our legs and see the sights.
This man and his donkey were selling fruits and homemade goods.


This little guy was spent from his travels.


Krista and I had the opportunity to see first hand how herding sheep is done. We learned how the dogs are trained. Then we watched the dogs herd the sheep. Was really neat to watch.


What a view for eating lunch. I had ordered shepherds pie. (This was the small plate)
Soooo good and filling.


There's a lot of beautiful bridges in Dublin.


We stayed at a cute little hostel call the Tipperary House. Now hostels are a very cheap way to travel. I will say they are not for everyone. If you can share a room with a bunch of strangers and want to save money, this is for you. It's a great way to meet new people. If you really don't care for that, then get a hotel room.  If you are traveling with a group of friends, getting a hotel room might be the cheaper way to go.


Krista is ecstatic that she got the top bunk.


GOOD BYE IRELAND,
YOU'VE BEEN GREAT!!!

Oh, hello Paire

My Aunt and I hopped on a train to Paire from Germany. It was about a 3 hour train ride. Seats were comfy. If you can pay a little extra for the leg room. All aboard You can see much of the most beautiful country side this way.  Stopped for a spot of tea. YAY, its the Eiffel tower. I always thought it was amazing in pictures but to see it in person was breath taking.  Louvre  Saw the famous Mona Lisa . I would recommend making this your first stop. There can be a lot pushy people trying to get a look at her. Norte Dame  I had climbed the 402 narrow steps to the bell tower. While I was up there the bells where ringing. Such an amazing sound. I was able to record it on my phone. ( Cant figure out how to share it with you guys, sorry)  I don't remember how many steps it was to the very top of the tower. But I did it and once again the view was breath taki...

Welcome to

                                                               Scotland There should be no surprise that us girls would go here.  The first day we drove around and found a really cute B and B. The next day we picked up Kristlynne. ( that's Kristas sister in law) I know what your thinking two crazy gals was trouble but three crazy gals. All 3 of us have some kind of connection with Scotland. As we were driving back from Sterling we stopped at the  Kelpies . These horse heads are huge. They can be seen from the highway. A lot of creativity and work when into creating these. As an artist I can really respect what the artist has created. ...

Monterey Fun

My friend Skyler was leaving for a Coast Guard trade school. She is going to go for MST, that is a marina science technician. We thought we should go on one more trip before she left. So we  headed off to one of our favorite places MONTEREY. While we were there we thought it would be fun to go diving. SOOO we did what any mermaid would do but go to the local dive shop, rent some gear and went diving.  The weather was a perfect 80 degrees. The water temperature was a freezing 50 degrees.  (Just a little cold) Here are a few pictures of the dive. This was a large Sea Hare Slug. He was close to a foot long  (Fun fact they can grow up to 16in long) I have not seen so many sand dollars in one place.  It was a really neat thing to see. That little white speck is an octopus (Just a baby) That's me That's Skyler We also went  looking for Mermaid Tears (sea glass, found a good amount) and did some shopping...
