Back to the Wild Wild West!

...of Ireland that is :D The weekend after I got back from Seattle , no time to put my bags down when Jen (a coworker from the US who came to our Dublin office for a couple of weeks) invited me to join her, her boyfriend Ryand and her brother along for a weekend trip to Western Ireland - Nives and her boyfriend also game along for much fun :) We all hopped in the car - woooow my first time drining on the left side of the road and I didn't kill anyone - not even one of the many sheeps that slowly crossed the road as if it was theirs :)

We stopped just about 2000 times in two days for some very special "picture moments" - so I had to share at least a few :) Below are pics from Connemara, the Kilkenny Abbey, the Cliffs of Mohair (yet again, I don't seem to get tired of them).

Anybody wants to volunteer to come and visit me now? :)

Cliffs of Moher and the Burren region




So Saturday was the Getting Lost Da.....mmm I mean the Connemara day :D, and then Sunday, we went South of Galway, to the Burren region, and followed the coast until we reached the Cliff of Moher. AND WE DIDN'T EVEN GET LOST!!!!! The water was incredibly beautiful, and at some poitn on the road, we could see a straight line cuting the water in half, with the deepest blue water on the left, and a bright silver grey on the right. Amazing! The cliffs are just breathtaking. It was my third time going, but I am amazed every time. You don't know how tempted I was to to straight to the edge of the cliffs and look down at the waves crashing on the rocks - and freak my mum out:)- like I did the past couple of times I came.....sadly, they've put a walll so that people can't get to close, so I couldn't do it :)

PS: We got a pic of Nils with a blue house :) That's his dream, and he got all excited :D A bit hard though to see his smile on the pic ;)
