I turned to view a green field,
In an instant,
Memories of you
Sunrise would be bedtime
Sleep deprived and backwards
Past the silent Aughnanure Castle
To the shores of the Lough Corrib
Warm tomatos, eggs and bacon
German tourists with well wishes
Cows graze in unspoiled meadows
Fog rolls in the morning
Red Rover, red Rover
Traverse the Connemara.
From Cliffs seven hundred feet above,
Wind down to sandy white beaches
Point then turn to follow
Hold breath through brambled branches
Ruins for exploration
Blazing skies blanket the mountains.
Tired of ham and cheese,
Chinese food in Galway?
Everything closes so early
Food past six is Guinness
Peat moss and singing fill the air
Dirt roads that wind with a smile
I miss the smells and sounds
Serenity and peace

those are all beautiful places for a wedding :) just a random thought.
I love how writing makes time and location move. This captures the randomness of travel perfectly! (The best chinese food I've ever had was in Prague!) Beautiful and simple, Jenn.

Love the castle and the cliff, I feel like I just took a mini-trip !
Well, you really mived me as I lived in Galway and surroundings for half a year...I simply love Connemara!
I fell in love with Irish people suddenly, they're truly genuine and friendly fellas!!!You're right: one should visit this part of Ireland, to breath nature, roughness, adventure, the so called Irish Far West:-)
Even in winter, it's charming and when it's cold you have the perfect alibi to drink as many irish coffees as possible to get warm:-P
Smart Fellas!
