Our original plan was to visit a National Park after Galway but Chuck wanted to do Thanksgiving on Thursday so I connected with Juniper from Girdwood who lives in Ireland and found she was only 15 minutes from the Cliffs of Moher and she invited us to stay with her family so we cancelled the National Park accommodation and decided to stay with her a night before returning to Dublin on Thursday.
Wednesday was super socked in and the bus drove through fog until we reached the coast and turned south where it drove out of the mist into the beautiful blue of sea and sky and stone!
The Rock of the Burren
It was a beautiful day to be at the cliffs where more often than not it is rainy. It was cold but the views were stunning. I was amazed by all the infrastructure built up around the cliffs. Last time I was here in 1994 (30 years ago!!!) there was just a small car park and the cliffs. Tony and I sat right on the edge!

Colleen, Ambiana and Jakobi were here 14 years ago when they came over a week before me for Chuck’s wedding.

The visitor center had a green screen picture machine and while making some fun postcards discovered that my green hat made my head disappear!
