Ireland - Day 3 (photos & video)

Puppies! Our last day in Ireland was really fun--horseback riding through Kilarney National Park and cruising the Dingle Peninsula. Possibly the best part for all of us, though, was the puppies. I'm a little sad we didn't get a picture or a video, but there was actually a little runt from the litter than sprinted up to greet us as soon as we drove up. He would seriously fit in the palm of your hand. I think the hardest part of the trip was coming to grips with the fact that we couldn't take any of them home with us. We were also sad for Jason in his fruitless quest to find berries in Dingle. The coastline on the peninsula was very impressive, though. Very glad we were able to fit that in.

Pup!

Puppy love

Krista's the only one that came prepared with her own riding boots.

They even had a horse (named Bill) tall enough for Jason!

Not at all a picture I was expecting to bring back from Ireland.

My horse's name was Mossy.

Time out for a snack

These were actually work horses. You could definitely feel their strength.

Mmmm... that's a nice view of Mossy. You just wanna slap it.

Aaaaaand back to the pups!

The boats had a nifty little passageway under the bridge that led out to Lough Leane.

Dingle Peninsula

Rolling green hills inland on the peninsula

Homes like this have dotted these hills for hundreds of years.

Not a bad life for sheep.

I love the rocky cliffs infused with green.

We got a kick out of the yellow house (i.e. pot of gold) at the end of this rainbow.
