Conquered!

Things I have conquered while in Ireland:

- Driving a manual transmission car

That was tough... I never thought that I was going to be able to drive normally or get down the road without stalling. Now I am driving, almost, like a pro and actually really like driving manual.

- Climbed Mt. Croagh Patrick!

Wow, this was also tough.... the first part is not too bad. You think you see the top and get a sense of relief that you did it, but then you look over to your left and oh wait you are only half way there! Crap. The second half is more difficult... you are literally climbing over loose rocks on a steep incline... needless to say, me with my fear of heights, I never turned around or looked down just to see the view during that second part.

The walk up...

Beautiful views

Westport Bay

We needed a little break :)

Only the halfway point :)

This is what we had to climb for about the last hour. Really rough!

Yeah, finally made it to the top!

The church at the top of Mt. Croagh Patrick

Beautiful sight!


WORK IN PROGRESS..... MORE TO COME SOON
