Here's one for all you old movie buffs out there. John Ford filmed "The Quiet Man" with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara (who was born in Dublin) in a small village, Cong, in the Connemara area of Ireland. Here's a bridge that featured in the movie. (I can't remember exactly where. I'll have to watch the movie again when I get home.)
Connemara is gorgeous -- a combination of Montana's open skies with a mix of Alpine and Mediterranean plants, dotted with crystal-clear lakes, studded with castles and other stony ruins, and full of sheep. (Not killer sheep as my kids would have you believe!)
