AE Travel Lens | Ireland 2012, Part One
Hello from Dublin, Ireland!
I'm traveling this week with Scrapmap and a wonderful group of like-minded memory keepers and photographers. We've spent the last couple days in Dublin and are getting ready to move on to other parts of this glorious country tomorrow.
Here's a few photos from our adventure:
We spent today in Dublin, visiting the Guinness Storehouse and Trinity College (to see the Book Of Kells) among other adventures.
As you can imagine with our group there's a lot of this:
Taking photos of stuff like this:
One of my favorite things so far was visiting The Mill at Avoca Village, Wicklow. Seriously, just take a look at these colors. We got to visit the working handweaving mill where they make their beautiful blankets, scarves, hats, etc, The colors are just so awesome. Loved learning about the process and seeing the looms in action.
They have an online shop if you want to check them out. Definitely bringing a few blankets home with me.
I will go to Ireland one day. Until then I will cont. to look at photos and cry.. Am glad you enjoyed your trip. Loved your photos too thank you for sharing them with those who couldnt go.

You can never have too much of the British Isles or new textiles. Better-than-good stuff. Relax and enjoy~~ (the Guinness didn't look too bad either!). @*

On my one and only trip to Ireland I anxiously awaited the chance to see the Book of Kells.... Only to find it was out for restoration the week we were there.........One day I will go back. Enjoy your time there and the lovely people of Ireland.

Ahhhh, I was just at Avoca and Glendalough in June! St. Kevin's was my favorite site in all of Ireland, followed closely by the Dingle Peninsula. If that is part of your trip, be prepared for major photo opps!

I love the group shot! In my area...seeing pictures just taking pictures is NOT a common thing so when I have my camera out, taking a picture of the street...I stand out. I wouldnt stand out in this group! Love it...

Sigh. This is the trip I was supposed to go on. Had the funding all lined up. Then my husband deployed back to Afghanistan and mommy guilt kept me from being able to leave my son. Next time, Ali. Next time.

Oooh - I literally want to eat those colors. Or wrap myself completely in them. Or paint each room in my house a different combination of two of those colors. Or all three of the above.
