Galway and the Cliffs of Moher

Galway, is located on a huge bay on the western shore of Ireland. It is very scenic and beautiful. The Stream to the left had some fly fisherman in it, I suppose fishing for trout but we didn't have the chance to ask. Just up the road from this river was the local cathedral.
The stain glass here was quite awesome and, really, only the church in York had prettier stain glass. From Galway we continued south along the coast and every once in while a castle like this is on the side of the road.



















From there we reached the Cliffs of Moher. I think they look like the cliffs of Insanity from the Princess Bride. It was very inspiring the way they had that little look out castle. I loved the vantage point that we had here. Had we enough time I would have enjoyed walking out to the point out in the distance. But still I find that the view of that castle gives good proportion to the size the cliffs actually are. They were awesome. The two pictures below are on the way from Galway heading south. The one below on the right is the infamous Galway Bay.




This castle was on the bay as well, it was real low tide so you could see way out. Then I don't know if you would have figured it out by the photo alone, but Ali had a runny nose. I have (being married to her) seen her at her high points and low points and I think this would fall right there in the middle. (Ryan got sick too, but as you can see he didn't want to include the photos we took of him when he was sick in bed...) The joys of taking a bus tour... When one person gets stick, the entire bus gets sick... one poor soul at a time. All in all, we still had a FABULOUS time!
