The Cliffs of Moher

Okay, time for a scenic photo. The Cliffs of Moher, shown below, are among the most popular tourist attractions in Ireland. They’re located not too far from Doolin, right on the coast. Take a good look. Because some of the scenery I’ll show you later is better. You won’t believe it.

The walk up to the cliffs is much tougher than it used to be. They’re remodeling the area and you now have to climb a pretty steep hill for about half a mile. In addition, there used to be very little in the way of safety. cliffs of moher #2 People could walk right off the edge if they wanted to. Now, they have concrete enclosures in place to avoid stupidity. Or it might be that erosion is making the edge unstable. Either way, enjoy the views!

    My husband just returned from Ireland today! He went there for his cousin’s wedding, plus a little golf. I would have gone, but we have 3 little ones and no babysitter available to watch them for a week at a time.

    Glad you enjoyed your trip! I have enjoyed seeing all of the photos and hearing about your travels.
