Adventures Abroad

I am lucky to have found an explorer in my husband. We share the joy of traveling, and the memories we make will last a lifetime. Here is a clip he managed to snag during our "Hawk Walk" in central Ireland.

These are 8 month old Harris Hawks. They are trained to return to this glove for food, so getting a video was especially tricky. Holding the camera up too high would cue them to land right on top, but wouldn't you know this guy was still able to catch us both landing hawks in one short clip. This is Chewy and Jabba from the School of Falconry at Ashford Castle - Cong, Ireland.

We had a lovely night at Ryan's Hotel in the nearby city of Cong. The inn had a bar with a lively crowd of locals, and the breakfast the following morning was incredible. The hospitality is unbeatable in Cong, Ireland! We met a great many friendly folks all over the country.
