Clew Bay, at Mulraney

On our way to Achill Island, we stopped in Mulraney and walked down to the beach. The tide was out, so we stopped again on our way back to Westport at the end of the day, and took this picture with the tide back in.

The Jester Pub in Westport

The Jester is the pub in Westport where we watched the UEFA Championship game between Manchester United and Chelsea. The soccer fans in the pub were as fun to watch as the game itself where United won the match on penalty kicks after a 1-1 tie in overtime.

Carrowbeg River in Westport

In Westport, we stayed at a B&B right on the river. Each day, after breakfast, we walked down to this bridge and turned left into the town center.

Temple Connor at Clonmacnois

During our trip to Ireland, we visited the Monastic site of Clonmacnois on the River Shannon near Athlone. Yes, more pictures of stones!

Can I Play, too?

This is another one of my favorite pictures. I like how Zoe's head is a little tilted as she looks so innocently at the toys and Gabby is totally ignoring her. Almost as if, "I've had enough, I need a nap."

Cuddling with Gabby

Eli and Gabby

These pictures were taken in March, when the kittens were only 6 weeks old. They were attracted to Gabby from the very beginning, and she lets them climb all over her.

Curious Cat

Someone asked about the kittens, and I have a ton of pictures to share, but this one from yesterday made me laugh. Both kittens are so curious about any change in their environment. Throw an empty box on the floor and they will spend an hour investigating it. I was cleaning out the pantry and pulled this soup out. While I was busy with something else, Eli made himself comfortable.

I didn't make a puzzle of it, but I also like the picture I've added below. Crazy cat.

Started in 1078 by William the Conqueror, The White Tower at the Tower of London was finished in 1087 by his sons, William Rufus and Henry I.

Barge on Basingstoke Canal

During our stay in Hampshire, England, we walked along the Basingstoke Canal several times. Barges like this are a common sight, either for canal tours or private use like this one.

Bridge over Tundry Pond

Tundry Pond is on the Dogmersfield Estate.

Fountain Court at Hampton Court Palace

The Fountain Court was designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and is the only courtyard completed for William III and Mary II. The rest of the courtyards are from the time of Henry VIII. You can read more about Hampton Court Palace on Rambling Traveler.
