This past week I had a business trip to Ireland. Much of the time there I spent in long business meetings. However, we had a couple "team building" exercises that allowed me to take out my camera.
I started my trip on the West Coast of Ireland in a city called Galway. While there we took a ferry over to Aran Island.
While there, someone suggested the best way to see the island was to rent a "horse and trap" (horse in carriage). You may notice it the island has very few trees, and an endless supply of rocks.

Rocks, Rocks, and More Rocks. ↓ Everywhere rocks.
After spending a couple days in Galway, the group headed to Dublin on the east coast. While there we took an afternoon to the Glendalough in Wicklow, Ireland. There we had planned a 10-12km hike up a to a mountain peak called the Spinc. It is during trip like this that I am reminded of my need to exercise. : )
It is higher than it looks... at least it felt that way hiking up it. : ) ↓
If I don't looked tired and out of breadth your not looking close enough : ) ↓
Once to the top, the views were outstanding. ↓
Finally, and gratefully we headed down the well laid out trail.
Notice how everyone had matching backpacks : ) A should fire way to see this is a "team building exercise" : )

I can't beleive all the rocks. Glad I don't live there in the wintertime. It has got to be so cold. I love the picture of the coastline. Was your bum killing after a long horse and buggy? Sometimes the quant old things are not too comfortable for our modern day bodies :-)I want to go next time!
What an awesome experience! I love the pictures how amazing! Could you imagine the people building those rock walls? That would be poop! Yes! The picture of the cliffs is GORGEOUS!
