Knock, Croagh Patrick, and More!

A small chapel that we came across while hiking in the Connemara National Park


This is in the chapel at Knock, it shows the apparition that the villagers of Knock actually saw!


A high cross at Clonmacnois


The starting point of our pilgrimage at Ballintubber Abbey


An ancient grove along the hike. The whole grove smelled like garlic because of the wild garlic that grows there!

Beginning our ascent up the mountain

The chapel at the top of Croagh Patrick

The long hike down

The statue of St. Patrick at the bottom of the mountain and the end of the pilgrimage

The mountain was covered in fog, so we thought this painting gives a better idea of what it looks like

The lake isle of Innisfree (Yeats anyone?)

Free Derry, where the Bloody Sunday massacre took place

The Giant's Causeway

The coastline of Northern Ireland
