So here it goes, my Ireland re-cap via pictures. I think I'll do about four at a time just to save the two people who read my blog the agony of having to scroll all the way through.
Without further adieu...
1.) Cliffs of Moher
We visited these mighty fine cliffs on our second day in Ireland. The view is gorgeous, and there's a nifty little medieval watchtower up at the top of the other side of the cliffs. The Cliffs are located in Co. Clare which is one of the most laid back and friendly states in Ireland. I could retire here happily
2.) Dunguaire Castle
My mom and I ran across this 16th century watchtower/castle on our way to Galway. Not quite the grandeur I was hoping for but it was a quaint medieval castle/watchtower that was bought in 1954 by Christobel Lady Ampthill an eccentric old hag that lived on the fourth floor of the castle for a few years before finally selling it to the Shannon Development Company who finished restoration and made it into a museum.
3.) Inside Dungaire Castle...
This the medieval banquet room, they still hold medieval banquets here...for a small fortune.
4.) The Burren
This was a kinda funky little place on the way from Doolin to Galway. It looked almost tropical, but when you walk five feet down the road it feels like a little country hamlet. The roads are scarely narrow and everytime a car passes you feel like you're going to die. Other then that it's a really nice little place. Lots of little fisherboats and friendly neighbors.
More tomorrow....stay tuned.
