very cool. someday I will make it back to Ireland.

Oh man! That is just unbelievably bitchen!

wow, I think I just dated myself.

Beautiful picture!

That's an abbey? Wow. Do they give tours?

Re 3: Don't you just miss the Guinness in Ireland? I do. It makes me tear up every time. It just isn't the same here in the states.

Grey I maybe wrong on the prices, but at the time it was 15 euro to get in. They don't have a tour guide so to speak, they have a short video expaining the abbey. then you get to freely walk through the abbey a gothic Church and the Mossalium(sp) plus the Garden which is huge. we spent around 4 hrs. they have a nice place to eat. and a large gift shop. Also I believe which ever way you take to get there some nice roadside pubs.

when did you go....We spent the last two weeks of December in Ireland. The wife is from there and we took the kid over to meet the family. We were in Larne in Northern Ireland. It is such beautiful place even in the winter.
