Photos Aran Islands

Our fast ferry

I took this photo as we were crossing - I was so excited to see sunshine

One of the old thatch cottages which is still lived in

A view looking up to the top of the fort.  Those dots are people

Inside one section of the fort

Nothing between you and the Atlantic ocean

This view gives you a bit of an idea of the height of the fort

a few rocks were used to make this wall....

this is one of the ventilated ones

A celtic cross at the site of the ruins of the seven churches

Hope this was a window and not a doorway

This view shows the before and after the movement of the rocks.  The soil came from dragging
 sea weed and kelp up from the ocean and laying it on the field and eventually growing potatoes in it.

We had a lovely day!!!!

some of the nice old buildings on the island

horse and traps are still used for touring the islands

A nice meal in an Irish pub before we walked home.
