Consider that we had to take a bus for 3 hours each way to get from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher, it was a surprisingly quick trip!! Our tour guide was AMAZING!! He sang and told stories the nearly the whole time!! Except for 45 min each way which he called the "snooze cruise." He told the story about the salmon of knowledge.
Of all the things we saw in Europe, this was the most anticipated for me. I have been anxious to see the cliffs for years!! It was fantastic. If you have been to the grand canyon you know that there are no pictures or descriptions that to it any justice. This is no different. Just breathtaking!!
Below is the Burren, a rocky area just north of the Cliffs of Moher. I was pretending to be a warrior or something.
This is our bus driver sitting like a crazy fool about 200 feet over the water at the Burren!! He was very witty!! At the Cliffs there was a group of 3 people that didn't get back to the bus on time, so he circled the parking lot a few times to get their attention. When he could see them run towards the bus in the distance he started to leave. They caught up to us down the street a little ways. It was hilarious to everyone that was already on the bus. That group of people wasn't late again!
This reminded me of the castle in Made of Honor, but I'm pretty sure that was Scotland not Ireland.

Barack Obama visited this pub in Moneygall. I guess he has ancestors from Moneygall. You can see his photo on the outside of the building.
