We're in Ireland. Conor's homeland. Home also to rain and all things green.
Conor's parents met us in Rosslare where our ferry docked after crossing both the English channel and the St. George channel in the Irish Sea.
It's been a nice change of pace, being able to relax yet still see the country a bit with the help of Conor's parents. We've been staying in Tipperary, a cute little Irish town where Conor's parents grew up in and around. We visited the Cliffs of Moher on the west coast of Ireland on our way to the smallest of the Aran Islands, Inish Oirr. The Cliffs of Moher are just awesome to see. You literally feel like your on the edge of the world, dropping 394-702ft depending on where you're standing. The Aran Islands are like a world on their own. We stayed for one night in a great B&B, we rode bikes around the island looking at old ruins and ship wrecks. The island we stayed on has a population of 300 along with pubs, dogs and horses. It's a nice place to relax and take in the Maritime feel

The Shipwreck
Plassey. wrecked in the 1960s, has since been pushed high above the tide line from strong Atlantic waves
The Lighthouse
we rode all the way over to it just to find out you could barely go close to it. Whatever, it was cool, for a lighthouse
Where sheep roam free
so clever that even though some had one front leg tied to the back leg, they could still hop the rock walls
