what a wonderfully long and relaxing trip. two weeks spent in the english countryside and one in the western part of ireland.

i could live in england, really i could. of course the three times that i’ve been there i’ve had incredibly good weather…

we spent most days hiking the hills and walking from town to town. the lake district has some spectacular hiking and i definitely recommend going if that’s your cup of tea (ha).

we flew out of manchester and into galway. we happened to get into galway just at the end of their annual arts festival. the city was insane! sort of like new years even in times square but with lots of performances. we saw lots of cool bands and visited some really nice galleries.

we stayed in the south western part of ireland. no plans really, just sort of bounced around from town to town which was fun but also a bit exhausting. here’s a photo of a castle that was close to the cliffs of moher.

once i go through everything maybe i’ll post some other photos from the trip. so now i’m going to get settled in and back into the swing of things.
