It's always great to get out of Dublin and head West.
On Saturday morning, I picked Amy up bright and early and we set off on a road trip to Galway. We brought along Bones for the company (well in reality I couldn't have gone with Amy if I didn't bring him because his other hooman was also gone away).
As a first time visitor, I was stunned by the serenity of our destination when we arrived. Look at this amazing view from where we were staying.
I LOVE a water view!!!
We had such a lovely afternoon chilling in the garden. The weather was amazing - chilly but very bright and sunny at times with small patches of cloud and rain. Very changeable but on the whole, very nice.
We were well fed with Amy making a full Irish on arrival which we needed badly....let's just say we would have made good time except for coffee stops, losing our way (just once!) and a very enjoyable detour in to our younger sisters home for a cup of coffee (she lives on the other side of Galway).
Later in the evening we walked to a pub in the village where we had a lovely chat and a drink but we left before it got dark as we didn't want to walk on country bothair-eens with no paths - even though we had brought a torch for safety......high viz vests would probably be a good idea too.
We stood in the garden and looked over the lake as the sun set with the colours changing from time to time as the sun went down.
Is there anything nicer than the sun setting on a great day with your sister?!
