On the way from Galway to Delphi Mountain Resort we pass through a section known as Joyce country, where James Joyce did much of his work. the natural beauty is awe inspiring. the long line down middle of scene, is a stone wall. this is a short well. some going up the steep mountain face must go on for a mile. amazing feat. not sure why, keep sheep out of potatoes, delinate properties...

Connemara is a combination of mountains, bog, pasture, lakes, rivers and seacoast. Wild, remote country that is interspersed with quant small villages and lively people. In the same day, you could catch fish and shellfish from the sea, then trout from the lakes. kayak the river rapids or go surf the waves off the beach.

The river outside the resort was being used for kayaking by a group of transition year students and had a number of waterfalls and challenging rapids for them to have fun with. this scene is just past a bridge where its smooth sailing.

The view from our room at Delphi Mountain Resort. we watched as the storms blew by, bringing hail and rain and hurricane like winds. then the sun would come out. lots of rainbows. as usual the picture doesnt do justice the beauty, esp the colors. as the light in the sky changes the palette of colors on the landscape change as well. with the weather being stormy during our stay, we loved having a dry and warm place to enjoy the magic of this place
