Ireland, Part 4

On day 4, we drove over this mountain pass on the Beara Penninsula. It was so pretty. The whole way up, we just kept stopping in driveways, and anywhere the road was wide enough, to take pictures.









There were also sheep.
Once we made it through the pass, we went to the Killarney National Park. There was a neat waterfall (Torc waterfall), and found some students to take a pic for us. There was also the neatest monastary (Muckross Abbey) When the most recent structure was built, they planted a yew tree in the center of the cloister. The tree is doing great, the abbey is getting a facelift. To round out the day, we visited the Ross Castle, which had been remodeled (many times) most recently to depict 16th century life. It was interesting to see the layout of life in a tower house.
