Day 46
This is Kylemore Abbey, which is, as you can tell, stunning. sadly, it wasnt part of the plan to go in there, so we would have had to pay and extra entrance fee, and it would mean we would have to give up other things on the trip so we chose not to tour it. but we ate lunch at a lovely cafe nearby, and got this great view of it for pictures. it as a sad story of an irish man who built it as a home for his wife and daughter, but when they both died he could no longer bear to live there, he was reminded of them so much. so he moved away and gave it to the church who made it into an all girls school. i dont think the school is still going on there, but i thought that it was terribly sad what happened. ~Abbie
