Sunday was our first day in Ireland! We flew overnight from New York to Dublin and rented a car. We did an early morning driving tour through Dublin, finding cathedrals and colleges, monuments and museums, then hit the road. We drove through beautiful scenery on our way across the island to Galway. In Galway, we attended church in a small branch. Everyone was very friendly and we enjoyed being with them. From there, we continued our drive through small villages. we drove through the Burren, a national park, and through the village of Ballyvaughan, stopping to see castles and even a "fairy fort," then continued onto Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher. We hit some rain at the cliffs, but were still amazed by the scenery. We continued our drive through Limerick and into the village of Newcastle West, where we found our cute little Bed and Breakfast in an old farmhouse. We finished with dinner in a pub (more Irish diner than Irish bar). A lot of driving, but a great day!
