Field Trip - Aran Islands


Today we took a trip to the Aran Islands. Our day started with a ferry ride to the largest island, Inis Mor, which actually means “large island” in Gaelic. One fascinating part about the Aran Islands is that most of the signage on the island is written in Gaelic. Once we got to the island, we got on a bus that took us all around the island. As you can see in the pictures, there are stone walls all over the island that were constructed by people years ago in order to divide their property.  At the end of the bus tour, we got to hike up to the Dún Aonghasa fort, which had an amazing view. The wind was pretty intense today and yesterday, but it did not stop us!
