Anyways I met her in the summer of 2007 a random friends party on a fluke, we along from the start talking about heavy metal, the outdoors, Scandinavia, and then Ireland. After that first meet we planned to hang out further, so the next time I went to pick her up I was at her house and met her family and it was amazing. As soon as I got there her mother sensed I was Irish then asking of my Surname which she recognized as being quite Irish. Then we started to discuss which county each of our ancestors were from. She began mentioning her people being from a place in county Mayo, a place called Achill Island. Being a place that I had not heard of before I looked into it just to see its rough geography and landscape.
Here are some photos of this great island:
Upon this research I found this place is one of my most amazing places. Seeming so photogenic and wonderful in all aspects of scenery and life. I am proud of having ancestry from Ireland alone though I can only imagine being from such a place like this one Achill Island since learning about this place it has now been places on my list of must sees in Ireland. Of course I am interested in seeing and going to all places in Ireland, that goes with out saying but Achill Island is a must see.
