Up before the sun, my friends and I departed for City Centre in order to catch the bus that would take us clear across Ireland! Besides the cliffs of Moher we stopped at about 8 other places along the way. The bus ride was long but it gave us a chance to see the beautiful rolling green hills, farm life, and other sites you would generally associate with Ireland as opposed to the city life we've been living so far! It's crazy how you can travel across this country from one end to other in about three hours and you can't even get across Pennsylvania that fast! It really puts into perspective how huge the United States are. Anyway, two of the more notable stops on the way to the cliffs were Kinvarra, a small village near Galway, as well as Corcomroe Abbey, an abandoned monastery that still is protected by the Irish government for it's historical significance. Here's some pictures:

real bones! ahhh!

I don't even know what to say about the Cliffs themselves! They were absolutely breathtaking. Of course I had seen many pictures of them before but absolutely nothing compared to seeing them in person. We walked up and down the path that goes along the cliffs and took a plethora of pictures at the main cliffs and also the mini cliffs a few minutes down the road! Thankfully I didn't see the video of part of the cliffs collapsing in 2009!!!! I probably would have been a bit more apprehensive about them hahah Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip!
got my official claddagh ring!
