Paddywagon Day 4

Today we drove to the Cliffs of Moher on the west coast of Ireland. Words cannot describe how stunning these cliffs are. Here's a picture, but it really can't do it justice.We were so lucky to go on such a brilliantly sunny afternoon so we could see all 5 cliffs. Absolutely breathtaking.

We drove to Lahinch to eat lunch at 'Paddy Murphy's Pub and Grub'. This is one of the most popular surfing spots in all of Ireland, and sure enough there was a class out there as we watched. The Aussies scoffed at the very small waves, incredulous that any surfing activity could take place at all. Bryce, you would have gone out regardless, I'm sure. The chilly weather wouldn't scare you away either.

We left that morning minus one member of our tour who had ended up spending the night in the suburbs with some Galway locals. We were heading out to a tiny town called Annascaul in Kerry, and had no idea how she would make her way back to us. Incredible, she showed up that evening at our hostel, the Randy Leprechaun. The Galway guy gave her a lift, what must have been a several hour long drive. Legendary.

There is karaoke at the Randy Leprechaun so we of course participated enthusiastically. There were so few people there, we could pretty much walk up and sing our selected song right then. Happy Days, Happier Nights.
