6-3-24 Scenic Connemura

Today was mostly driving but it was in the very scenic Connemara region in western Ireland. The prettiest parts were the emerald green valleys that we drove through on roads that looked too narrow for our bus, . We visited the Kylemore Abbey, which is one of my favorite buildings in Ireland.

We visited a falconry school on the grounds of Ashford Castle.  We were able to let a hawk land on our gloved hand, let it eat from our hand and then let it fly away to a nearby branch.
