ZEN TRAVEL MOMENT: THE MAGIC OF CASTLES & LOVE 

7/9/2013

 
Picture
For a fleeting moment, the magic and mystery of a lifetime of tomorrows yet to be tapped reduced the years I'd seen to a fraction of their worth.

Shrouded in history and mystery, the majestic sight of Kylemore Castle at Connemara, Galway County, Ireland brought back the pure wonder and beauty of schoolgirl dreams yet to be realized.  The love story behind the twentieth century castle made it that much more beautiful.  It seemed fitting, in lieu of the tragedy that left the lord of the castle to mourn the loss of his princess, that the castle eventually become a home for Benedictine Nuns and a school for Catholic girls. 
 
Every girl deserves her prince charming; and an education, for staying the course when kissing all those toads seems to render the dream something akin to a nightmare.  

Humble abode aside, my life with my prince has been a blessing, the stuff of fairy tales and fantasy.

That castle, that picture, is it real? Looks like a postcard picture and very magical.

It's the real deal! It was as amazing as it looked.
