athenaltenaSome of the better pictures I took are now up on my DeviantArt account, but here are some more detailing our trip, these ones more people-centered. And they actually include me, which is a rarity since I'm usually very bad about getting my picture taken.
My dad refers to this as my "Album Cover" and I'm actually debating using this as my senior picture in the year book, since I'm bound to hate the ones they took at the school, though I still think I look pissed off in it
My dad and I posing in front of the sign entering our ancestral stomping ground (where my six times grandfather was from) Note the "soft shoulder" sign that managed to make it in, perhaps a karmatic nod to our earlier car trouble involving the soft shoulder (though in that case it was a no shoulder)
My dad at a "dolmen" in Ballyduff, where we were looking for our ancestral graves (we got within about 20 feet of where they probably are, since most stones were too faded to read). Someone made this little mini dolmen in the graveyard, probably as a joke.
My mom, myself, and Star, her horse. We never did figure out why he was called Star, unless he used to have a star on his forehead when he was younger but lost it when he got older (as happens with white horses). My mom and I traded horses at one point, and while Star was a sweetie he did get fed up a few times, especially if he got stuck behind a slow horse.
My dad and I at the Cliffs of Moher. I think the most amusing part of this picture is the fact that our hair flips up in almost the exact same way, since have the same cowlick in the same place. I also look very tired in this picture, but it was getting late.
