So... the last few days have been kind of a blur... and I have been too lazy to blog. lol.
I'm sorry about not posting any new pics. My laptop is finally on its last leg, and won't let me save any pictures, even to my external hard drive :/
But on a lighter note, we have been keeping busy!
The weekend involved a lot of Guinness... pubs, clubs, taverns, and a few inebriated adventures back to the hotel. lol.
Since my last posts, we have taken our train tour to the Cliffs of Moher, Galaway, Bay, Bunratty Castle & the Burren lands. All of it was simply beautiful! The cliffs were breathtaking. I've never seen anything like them. When we finally got there, the mist had just began to settle in, and we could feel the light pitter patter of rain on our faces soon there after. The water was a intense shade of dark blue, which made the sheer sides of the cliffs seem that much more menacing.
Galaway was a cute town, and the Bunratty Castle was interesting, but what really caught my attention were the Burren lands, an area of Ireland that is along the coast and is just covered with large slabs of limestone and huge boulders. It is one of Ireland's national parks, where many of the countries rare flowers grow between crevasses in the rocks. It was an interesting contrast to the lush, rolling hills that you typically see in Ireland, but it was still gorgeous.
For today, we plan on getting in all of our last minuet shopping in, finally going on the Guinness tour, and packing up our lives back into our 3 suitcases. lol.
Going home will be bitter sweet :)
