Entering Ballyliffin.

Our hotel -- the Ballyliffin.

The sun shines on Ballyliffin.

More beautiful views of the countryside. So green!

Stopping to enjoy the view.

Mom, on top of the rock.

The two travellers :)

Waves, pounding the shore.

More rocks and water :)

The beautiful, green countryside.

The "Five-Fingered" Beach.

Mom's enjoying the beach . . .

. . . and so am I!

Looking back towards Ballyliffin.

So pretty!

Kilmainham Gaol, a historic prison, where many poor people were imprisoned during the Famine, and where many of the leaders of the Irish Rebellion were imprisoned and executed.

The prison chapel. The alter was built by a prisoner.

What it looks like inside.

Another part of the jail.
