Ireland (Part 4).....

Fourth day of Ireland pictures. Hope you have seen the prior days.


Near the city of Doolin. The Cliffs of Moher. The most visited site in Ireland. Over 700 ft. tall and amazing breezes!!! (ok, they were gale force)




That's the other side of the Atlantic Ocean slamming into those rocks down there....




Yep....windy, windy day.



Again...overcast, drizzly--perfect for just amazing wildflowers growing everywhere.





Morgan enjoyed a medieval dinner at the famous Bunratty Castle. The Lord and his Lady of the castle welcomed us and had their court of helpers serve and sing thruout the night. Bunratty Castle was built in 1270. It was quite surreal sitting in the grand room knowing how much history had happened there before us...... This bag-pipper played for us on the way out.



The city of Adare just outside of Limerick. Famous for their thatched-roof cottages. Considered one of Ireland prettiest and most picturesque cities. Most of these cottages are little shops, but there are private homes scattered about. These cottages were built in the 12 century.











....these flowers are everywhere....and HUGE!




....more thatched cottages in Adare.....



Out on the Dingle Peninsula. Fishing is the money maker in this town.

Until the next time....
