The Final Photos (Part V)

Fittingly, the final photos I'll post on this blog are a couple sunset shots. The first was during a late-night walk around Limerick; the second was from the King Family Farm. Keep in mind that, given Ireland's latitude, and since it's summer, the sun didn't set until about 11:00 p.m.

Photos, Part IV

The coolest Cathedral we saw in Ireland--not the oldest, but the most interesting in style.

Another shot from Killaloe.

Some boats on Lough Derr in Killaloe.

Shots from the universities I saw. The top two are from UL in Limerick, and the last is from Trinity College in Dublin.
