Cliffs of Moher: If everyone were jumping off this would be the place to do it!

So it's been a while since I have written on here, so I apologize for that. I've had some bad computer experienced and needed to wipe everything off it, and basically start all over again a couple times now.

So I will try and do a quick update on some of the places we have been since I last wrote.

A while ago Sarah, myself and Stephanie all went on a mini road trip to Galway. The city of Galway is located on the West Coast, basically directly across the country from Dublin.

The city is really cute and has a great Irish vibe to it. It is often referred to as "what Dublin use to be." While Galway is still very much a tourist hot spot, it seems to hold onto that traditional Irish feel and lifestyle- whereas Dublin can sometimes be considered a sell out, for lack of better words.

Galway city is the fourth largest city in Dublin but is the fastest growing city, along side Dublin. Sitting along the Coast, it's easy to picture the merchant town when it was a hussle and bustle hot spot for fishing boats and vessels.

But on the way up to Galway we took a drive to see the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare. The Cliffs are located between the two towns of Liscannor and Doolin. The cliffs are over 700 feet tall at their highest point and the sandstone cliff drops vertically into the Atlantic ocean directly below. They are one of Ireland's most visited attractions, and one of the most known natural wonders. Speaking of which, there is actually an ongogin campaign sponsoured by 7-up to get the Cliffs of Moher into one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World.

You can walk all along the edge of the different parts of the cliff, and even at one point cross over the barbed-wire for a closer look. Because it is so close to the water, the wind can be very strong and even kind of frightening when you realize how easy it would be to take a wrong step and fall...something Sarah and Steph were freaking out about. Rightfully so I guess.

Luckly, we had some AMAZING weather that day (it rained the day after we were there) and there was very little wind.

When you first arrive you have to park across the street and this is the view as you are walking toward the cliffs. It's all so green right up until the very edge..
All the little shops and information center are actually IN the hills..
Along one of the cliff side..
They just keep going on forever; you can spend all day here when it's sunny!
The watch tower at one of the ends..

Right before we climbed over the barbed wire fence behind us...it took some convincing for me to get Sarah and Steph to join. But it was worth it in the end!!
The walk out to the final stop. The cliff literally drops off after that little patch of grass to our left.
The walk still...

See...right in the middle of that cliff, in the stone. That is where we are walking to because that is where you get the best view...
You get to the flat top and then walk down a little rock-hill and there is a very flat surface right in the middle of the edge that drops down into the water...
And then the wind started to pick up and Sarha and I refused to move in fear of getting blow in!
Stephanie was a lot happier once we got back over the barbed wire fence again..
The cliffs were probably one of my favorite destinations so far. It was absoultly beautiful and we were so lucky to have such a nice day!
