We loved it.

Irish people. Cliffs. Stone walls. Sheep. Sunsets over the Atlantic and Donegal Bay. Deserted sandy beaches. Those crazy little Napoleonic watchtowers. Seals. Country cottages. Beer. Wool tweed clothing and accessories... etc.

I'm wearing my half of the set of crownless cladagh rings we bought from a jewelry maker there.

It was a magical visit.
