A visit to the monastery at Kylemore Abbey
Kylemore Abbey
“Originally a hunting lodge stood where the Abbey is today and it is said Mitchell Henry and his bride, Margaret Vaughan visited Connemara while on honeymoon in 1850”

“Margaret was so charmed by Connemara that Mitchell Henry returned and purchased the 15,000 acre estate as a romantic gift for Margaret and created one of Ireland’s most iconic castles.”
Cat and Sean went to Quebec City on their honeymoon. Cat was so charmed by Quebec that Sean purchased a shot glass that reads “Quebec” on the side. But Cat also didn’t have to deal with a cholera epidemic, so it balances out in the end.

Imagine having to mow that.
The horseshoes were a common theme around Ireland.
A wall in the walled garden.
For no apparent reason.
On this site in 1897 nothing happened.
