beautiful inisheer








If you love rocks (and who doesn't?) the west coast of Ireland is the place to go. I am no stranger to stone walls, but have never seen anything like the stone walls of Inisheer, a small island off the coast (one of the three Aran Islands).

The Aran Islands are a Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) region. Only about 5% of the people in Ireland speak Irish, but you'll see it written everywhere. Forget about trying to figure out the pronunciation of written words, but you can enjoy the beauty of the spoken language. We heard it in the coastal towns and on Inisheer.
