How ridiculously behind am I on my posts about my trip overseas?! I've yet to talk about my trip to Northern Ireland, Paris, Italy and now I'm back in Boston about to start classes on Monday! WHAT?! Ireland feels like a dream now but here's a little snippet about my time in Connemara.
Our tour driver could not get enough of the peet and at one point stopped the bus and picked some up from the side of the street to show us. But generally speaking, our trip was mostly of Kylemore Abbey, a beautiful castle built for a beautiful love...
A movie was shot here, but I'm not quite sure which one...
Another wishing tree along the way to Kylemore Abbey.
The beautiful Kylemore Abbey
The Castle was built by an English man named Mitchell Henry for the wife he loved so dearly and their family.
Mrs. Henry died four years after the castle was built and Mr. Henry built this mini cathedral specifically dedicated to her.
Eventually the castle became an abbey for Ypres nuns who fled during World War I.
"Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving." -Kahlil Gibran
Peace & Love,
