We were fortunate to be invited to Ireland to attend the wedding of Michael's brother, Paschal and his bride Angela. They were married in a beautiful restored church called Cratloe. Here are Paschal, Angela, her sisters, and Paschal's brothers, Robert and Joseph.

After three days of wonderful wedding celebration, we headed up the coast toward Michael's home in Sligo. Along the way Rita, Michael and Antoinette showed us the sights! Here we are at the Cliffs of Moher-beautiful rocky cliffs covered with green grass and moss.

Here we have the city of Sligo, which is on the Garavogue River. This "warehouse" area has been revitalized into popular pubs and boutiques

This is the shore at Strand Beach out from Sligo. This beautiful area is only about 20 minutes from Michael's home. They offer "seaweed" baths here and we were tempted to try one, but couldn't decide about getting into a tub filled with green, slimy seaweed!!

This gorgeous, serene lake is near Kylemore Abbey. The picture was almost not taken because cloudy conditions!

This is Galway on the River Shannon where Michael's brother, Joseph lives. It is a pretty university city.

Killaloe is a quaint village on the River Shannon where this picture was taken from atop the bell tower of the city's only Protestant Cathedral. We were invited by two of the church's parishioners to see "the most beautiful view of Killaloe in the city" and they certainly were right!!
