Another dreary day in Ireland would not stop the group from seeing some amazing sights. The weather did hinder our ability to capture the sights as accurately as possible. The bus picked us up from our campus village area around 11. The guided tour was pretty interesting but I was tired so I could not appreciate all of the random information that was being thrown at us. Stop number one was The Burren. Specifically a grave. It was worth the five minutes we spent there, but no more time was needed to admire the stone tabletop type of structure.
Next was the main event: The Cliffs of Mohr. WOW. I took about twenty pictures of the cliffs because I did not know what to do with myself. I felt like I was not giving them the justice they deserve by merely staring at them. We walked along the edge, as nerve racking as that is, for about 30 minutes. The few of us went very far passed the area marked safe because we thought we could see more. Our decision proved correct. I was able to walk one foot from the edge with no safety gate to stop me from plummeting the 575 feet to the water. It was completely worth it. What a rush to be so close to the edge.
We had lunch later following the Cliffs, followed by two photo opportunities: a castle and the Atlantic Ocean. Fortunately it did not start pouring until we were driving home.
