Connemara National Park

From our first cottage in County Mayo, we took a day trip to Connemara National Park on the far west side of Ireland.100_0218 We hiked to the top of Diamond Hill, but it is more like a mountain.  Above is me at the very highest point.  You can easily see the 3 rocks piled next to me.  At that moment, I was the higher than the highest point…actually Matt was since he was standing to take the picture.

100_0204 Part way through our hike there was a lookout over the area.  It was so pretty…and very very high.

100_0211 Look at this amazing hike.  I can’t believe that I was able to crawl up the mountain.  Matt left me in his dust and I was constantly behind him in the hike.

100_0213 View from the top of the mountain…again.  If you look close at the bottom middle you can see Kylemore Abby.  It’s pictured in more detail below.
