I'm absolutely in love with Ireland. I've never before met a whole group of people who talk as much or as freely as I do. Everyone from the cab driver to the people in charge of my bed and breakfast have been SO kind and accommodating. My B&B is so cute and cozy. As I type this, I'm sitting on the couch with freshly brewed tea to my right side and a gently burning fire in fireplace to my left. This is beyond relaxing. I arrived in Galway yesterday evening, so Wednesday was pretty much just a travel day for me. I did take a quick walk to the coast once I arrived to stretch my legs. It is gorgeous.
Today, I took a tour to the Cliffs of Moher. The company picked me up on my doorstep (literally), so it was really convenient. Along the way, we also stopped to see many things including Dunguaire Castle, Poulnabrone Dolmen, Leamanagh Castle, and the Burren. The Irish countryside looks exactly like what I imagined it would. It's like a green patchwork quilt with stone walls and thick trees/bushes separating the various plots of land. It's lovely. The day started off rainy, but cleared up nicely by the afternoon. The Cliffs of Moher were beyond worth seeing. They were breathtaking! Below are some pictures from today.

Can you tell it was just a little windy today?
Who knew I was an Irish pony whisperer? In fact, I have a picture of an English horse posing perfectly for me, as well. Apparently, I'm huge with European equines...
You look like you are having a great time. Beautiful pictures, can't wait to see all of them.
