Connemara

First Irish studies bus trip! it was a long one- 11 hours

Connemara is up around the other side of the bay from the Burren. It has a lot of marshes and different rock on its mountains (as well as grassy stuff growing on it.) I may or may not think it's a better landscape than Burren.
(disclaimer: the roads here are not very smooth, and buses are bumpy, and it's very hard to get straight pictures and without window glare)

The landscape changes once we leave the Burren area:

Connemara ponies! apparently they are very famous and people come from all over the world to get one.


**internet or blogspot or something is spazzing out, can't get any more pictures to upload right now, so stay tuned for Connemara part 2!
