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 would be so there for the Guiness flight. Not for me, but for my husband. I've taken many a pic of either a wine or beer flight tasting. Love the bright colors of the yarn. And, I love the perspective of your pics.

The colours in the blankets are wonderful. We went to Dublin in April and loved it but I want to go back to Ireland to see Wicklow and Cork. Enjoy the rest of your trip - perhaps you should come to London next :)

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!
