Day 2 in Ireland

Time to break out of Dublin and head to the country side.

The GPS we had wasn't updated to the new highways, but that was okay....we wouldn't have seen the crazy back road scenery. We would have missed out on several castles, several near miss hits in the car and some quaint eateries. Bottom line, yesterday was well needed.


Christin was fascinated with driving on the opposite side of the road.




Here is a shot of the rolling hills, someones land that was well kept. (One thing we noticed right away was the cleanliness of Ireland. Super clean.) Also, one of the castles we visited. Christin kept thinking of Monty Python and the Holy Grail the whole time. She wanted to launch cows over the wall.







We then proceeded down the road to our final destination. There were several great scenes from this road to the west coast, here are a few examples.






Lastly, we went to the Cliffs of Moher, the place where Princess Bride was filmed. (For those of you that have seen the movie, you will get it.) This was priceless. I think we will just let the pictures say the 1,000 words instead of me.












Christin smarted off one time, and I showed her who is boss. Then I saved her and she retaliated with trying to knock me over the edge. Not the right place to get in a fight.





Up next, U2!!!!
