Day5-
When we woke up on Day 5 we were not-so-joyously greeted by rain and thunderstorms. But, on with the trip! We crossed the Shannon estuary by ferry and entered County Clare. From there, we went for a walk along the Cliffs of Moher, rising approximately 700 feet above the pounding Atlantic waves below. Then we traveled north across the Burren, a suddenly stark and barren landscape. After our little jaunt in the country, we stopped in at Rathbaun Farm and met a Galway farming family who had afternoon tea and scones ready for us to eat. Next on the tour was Galway "City of the Tribes".
Day8-
On the morning of Day 8, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at the castle, and then we crossed the midlands back into Dublin for our last day/night in our now beloved Ireland. It was bittersweet being back in Dublin, because me and Rachel knew that in the morning we would be boarding a plane back to the states. It's amazing how much you can come to love something in what seems such a short ammount of time. That's how it was for us and Ireland. Once you go, you can never forget it.
Day9-
Early that morning we were driven to the very tiny Dublin Airport to board our flight back to America. I think me and Rachel were both sniffling as we looked out the window of the plane to our beautiful Ireland, a country of heritage, liveliness, and love, of which will never be forgotten.
Needless to say, we had an amazingly wonderful (not to mention memorable) trip.
Memories, memories...
