My parents took us back as a family in 1970.

July 2005 - Ireland

We arrived in Dublin and picked up our car and that is when we hear about the horrifying events in London, the July 7 2005 bombings.
We head to Ballyvaughan where we have rented a house for a week. There isn't any chronological order to these photos as I honestly don't remember our schedule.

I'm going to break this post into at least two parts.


A stop for lunch on our way to Ballyvaughan.

So let's start with our rental and sights around Ballyvaughan. Click here for our 2015 stop in Ballyvaughan.













This is where we had tea in 2015!!





This is Monk's  Click here to see Monk's on our 1991 trip.











We took a day trip to the Aran Islands.



Once there we took a horse and cart tour.













Great sign for the bicycle rental shop.
