GARDENS AT POWERSCOURT= AMAZING

This place was just about 12 miles south of Dublin and is one of the most beautiful places.  Its a huge castle with the craziest, biggest gardens ever! i say garden-s because there ae multiple gardens.  the property its on is huge.  everything is very beautiful.  the only let down is the inside of the castle.  you can only go in 2 rooms and theyre not that cool at all.  another place we could have taken a ton of pics at.   the reason we were so into going to this place in the beginning is because in the movie, the count of monte cristo, there's a house he buys after hes rich and this is the house he bought and they filmed at! 

main garden

front of building

there was a lake with a fountain at the end of the steps

looking out from the front

it had many levels of steps in the front

there were lots of pretty gates

these were stones all hand laid

a fort/tower.  we think he just made it for fun.. its not anywhere where it would be used to protect

cannons on top of the tower

there was a second statue he was going to imitate but it was very... permiscuous..

the japanese gardens

i made adam take a pic of me here cuz it reminded me of a scene in the movie twilight where theyre int he forest and they leaning against a rock.. ya know the part where he gets ridiculous and starts throwing branches..

neither cheese nor soda?

ok love you all
