Aran Islands




On Saturday we went to the Aran Islands. It was my favorite place we have been so far in Ireland. We hired bikes for 10 euro, got a cheap lunch, and rode bikes all around the Island. It is SUCH a beautiful place and I would highly recommend it. It felt like the source of anything and everything I had ever thought about Ireland before this trip. I was on a bike for most of the day except for our trip to the beach, so I didn't take quite as many pictures as I maybe could have, but it is a stunning place. The weather has been sunny, and really warm, and so beautiful. I have actually managed to collect a bit of color which is something I never expected from Ireland! Anyway, here are some pictures...

we found this dress on our bike ride and brad wore it because he wanted to go swimming!





This adorable woman in a wool sweater shop. 
We had a cute conversation and she was really proud
of the postcards in her shop because she took them, so I bought a couple.
I asked her if I could photograph her and she said she "needed a facelift, but okay". :)





I went off a mini adventure by myself. I got separated from our group but kind of liked it. I've been craving a little elbow room. So I went for a 40 minute bike ride back to the ferry along this coast road next to cliffs and ocean. It was very quite, just me and cows mostly and so pretty! 















The Ferry back to Galway...
