Friday we woke up to a blue sky and made for the Cliffs of Moher as fast as out little tin can car would take us. Which wasn't very fast because my father values our lives and is not crazy enough to actually go 100kph on the smallest, twistiest roads ever. We made an impromptu detour to the Burren Perfumery, which had great so many great scents. I bought some goodies, and Hurricane Amy knocked over a whole display of glass perfume bottles; luckily nothing broke. We then went to the Cliffs, making Sally's vacation complete since she's been talking about seeing the Cliffs of Moher from the moment they decided to visit me! The visibility was great and we could see clearly to the Aran Islands. Our stop in Doolin gave us one of the best meals we had all week, with delicious Beef & Guinness Stew, Bangers & Mash, and of course Chicken Fingers for me. I was thrilled to get to share the amazing views and great food with good company!

| The white spray in the background is actually from the waves crashing against the rocks; some of the plumes were going up even higher! |
Wonderful photos and can't wait till next year, just hoping we hit it when it is not so rainy!
