Picking up from where I left off on Ireland photos; moving on from Croagh Patrick, we made a pit stop to stretch our legs from physically taxing descent from the holy mountain.  You can easily still see it from this beach head view 15 miles away.

Louisburgh

A few more miles down the road we decided to stop in Louisburgh for a bit of refreshment at the Front Bar.  We very much enjoyed the quaint feel and colorful building everywhere we traveled.

The drive from Louisburgh to Aasleagh through the Mweelrea Mountains and around Killary Fjord was beautiful.  If I am ever fortunate enough to win the lottery, I will make my way back to Delphi & Delphi Lodge for a week or two of fly fishing. What a magnificent spot this was to stop at for a quick look and some fresh smoked salmon.  It is right off of R335 on the shore of Fin Lough; you cannot miss it.

The beautiful scenery continued from Aasleagh as we headed South into County Galway to Maam Cross.  Our destination for day 5 was Oughterard, County Galway. We stayed at Corrib View Country House just to the East of Oughterard on Lough Corrib.  This was a beautiful property to wander around on.

The blossoms on the tree in the yard smelled  so wonderful.  You can very clearly hear the sound of all the bees buzzing around.
