We arrived in Ireland at 6 a.m. and by 7 we were on the road
to Louisburgh. When we got to the Louisburgh Holiday Cottages,
one of our professors had a lunch of soup and bread ready for all of us. My
housemate Emilee and I unpacked, and then we were immediately out shooting with
our cameras. We wandered around the neighborhood for a little before we found
our way to the beach.
When we left Minnesota we were used to 0°F or lower
temperatures, so walking on the beach at 40°F felt so warm! I didn’t even need
a jacket: jeans and a hoodie was perfect. The tide was coming in so we didn’t
have a lot of time to spend there, but we’ll have plenty of chances to go back
over the next three months!
Louisburgh is part of the Clew Bay coast, so we can look
north across the bay to other parts of Ireland, including Clare Island. This
beach is littered with huge rocks, which I’ve found are great places to sit and
watch the ocean—if you don’t mind a cold ass, that is!
