Kylemore Abbey And Cong

After a wonderful Irish breakfast (I had porridge), we headed out to find Kylemore Abbey.  Unfortunately, the Irish rain gods were done being nice to us and it was pouring! My new raincoat suddenly was worth the purchase. We got a picture of the Abbey, but I wasn't interested in exploring the gardens in the rain! So this was as close as we got. 

We now were headed to the town of Cong, home of Ashford Castle and filming location for the John Wayne movie "The Quiet Man". (Nope, I haven't seen it either).  We had a bit of GPS issues as our GPS decided to send us the back way, as in the REALLY back way!!

So the little town of Cong is really proud of this 1952 movie, as evidenced by the statue and cafe.
