Trek to Connemara

Today as a house we woke up early and took a bus two hours North to the little town of Letterfrack and hike the Connemara National Park. Everything started out fine as we headed up the Mountain for free, but then the rains came; and then the wind; and then the hail; and even more wind...

A few goats to help navigate

And then Ireland got P-I-S-T...

Since half of us were in jeans, the ice to the face kept on comin', and the one sense of rational thinking we had told us this might have been dangerous... So after heading back down the ridge, stopping for a couple of pints in the pub, and warm up the extremeties, a few of us headed West to find the Ocean.

Here we go again...

Time to head back to the pub

A great first trip!
Cheers!

Anyone know how to properly post images so they don't drag on and on?
