Day 7 is mostly spent at the Cliffs of Moher in
County Clare. 700,000 people a year visit them, so they're building a whole visitor center and steps all
along it so those who aren't
daring can still see them. Definitely worth a visit.
Adrienne was more comfortable on the farm side of the
cliffs...although that cow doesn't look happy to see us.
Adrienne gets more and more comfortable with the cliffs. See that slope in the center picture? It drops
off abruptly and goes down 800 feet...so stay on the narrow path, ok? It took a lot of persuation to get
her to peer off the side.
There's two parts to the Cliffs of Moher: the safe tourist
part, and the part where you can die. Fortunately since they have this helpful sign (near
right) I knew not to fall off the cliffs.
Clockwise from bottom right: 1. O' Briens Tower, the closest we
could get to it due to construction; 2. Facing south, O'Briens Tower at the top of the
cliff; 3.
Facing north; 4. Facing north on our way back to the car, another structure in the
distance (it's VERY far away, as we found out (that's Doug standing in front of it
above)); 5. Facing north; 6. Some weird rocks near the south
end.
