Sunday took us south to the
famed Cliffs of Moher. Unfortunately, it was super rainy so we kind of had to rush and we didn't get too many good pics, but not toworry there will be more cliffs later. I don't have much to say about the Cliffs. There was a neat little visitor center, and because it was the off season and rainy, there weren't hoards of people. Britt and I ran about being cold and wet still taking in the awesome views of the cliffs below.
Close by in an area called The Burren, because of the crazy rocks all over the place, th
ere were a couple funny tourist attractions that we figured we might as well see. The first was a random cave network where once they found the remains of a bear, which haven't been in Ireland in thousands of years. Our tour guide was super funny, which always helps when you're somewhere random. 8 km away lay the best tourist attraction ever. The Poulnabarone Dolmen, a 5000 year old megalithic tomb, is apparently one of the most photographed things in Ireland. It is one rock balanced
on top of two other
rocks, supposed to be like a mini Stonehenge, only...worse. We were pretty prepared for it to be a letdown, but as we got there around sundown, it lived up to my low expectations. This thing was only about 8 feet tall, in the middle of absolute nowhere. There was no one else there so Brittany and I had loads of fun running around this thing before the sun set. It's hard to e
xpress how silly this sculpture was and how much fun it was to go out of our way to see it.
The night took us back to Galway.
