On my first trip to Ireland I wanted to drive around and see as much as possible. One friend said, "You can't miss the Connemara." I included it as a stop for just one day, and this place has the most glorious view I have ever had from a property. It did help that the sun shone brilliantly, but the water, the flowers, the rugged physical reminders of Ireland's geologic past makes this view one of the most breathtaking of my life. And the owner of the King's coffee shop a five--minute walk away is a lovely man.
