I love these old churches. Can’t wait to see what you found.
Ireland has so many beautiful places to visit.
How the and Malahide (and Dundee Laoghoire) are so beautiful and so easy to get to from Dublin. Lovely to see your photos!
Very true. We had a lovely afternoon and it’s only about 15-20 minutes outside of Dublin.
A beautiful place.
It certainly is. And, it allows the imagination to go wild.
Dude! These pictures are great. I’m loving your adventures. I’m glad you’re exploring these old churches. I love to hear the history behind places like these. Hope you are well!
Thanks! I’m sending a big hello to you, your family, and the Pacific Ocean.
Wow, such gorgeous photos! Looking forward to hearing what you found in Malahide in a future post… 🙂
Thanks Heather!
Just made my desire to go to Ireland even stronger.
