Trip to Cote d'Azur

We were invited for a wedding in France. We caught the opportunity when it showed up and took some extra days to visit this gorgeous part of the world.
Our first day at French Riviera.

The arrival to Nice.


Hills towering over the city.




Monaco. A place where modern and historic architectures coexist peacefully.


St. Nicholas Cathedral in Monaco.

Septemberfest

We attended the Septemberfest in Farmleigh.
The weather was bad but we still had a nice time.
It was a once-a-year opportunity to try an excellent produce of mini-breweries from all over Ireland.



Farmleigh House.




At the fair.

Trip to Celbridge

A weekend came - sunny but you could feel the chilly gusts of incoming Fall.
We decided that Celbridge is where we wanted to go.

Powerscourt Gardens

When we returned to Dublin I took my mum to the magnificent Powerscourt Gardens.



At the Triton Lake.

Weekend trip to Galway

My mother came to Ireland so we took her for a nice weekend trip to Galway and surroundings.
