Day 08

Today was a travel day, moving from Galway Bay area, to Cobh. Galway Bay was our base for setting out and seeing some of the sights we wanted to see.

Leaving Galway Bay, we went up to see the Cliffs of Moher, before turning and heading for Cobh.

Today was mostly driving, which is why there are not as many pictures. We saw cows, sheep, horses and donkeys as well as stone walls, of various degrees of upkeep.

In Cobh, we are going to begin searching for the Keating connection to Ireland, where we know some things, but want to fill in the gaps if we can. Using the Water’s Edge Hotel as our base while here.

Dinner at the hotel, finish the blog entries and get caught up with today’s activities.

It shall begin again in the morning.

The Cliffs of Moher
These cliffs are stark and steep, but are about 500 feet lower than the Cliffs of Slieve League which we sare a few days ago.

We arrived before the 100s of tourbusses.
The crowd was still small, but as we were leaving it was getting larger.

The Cliffs and the Wild Atlantic Way marker.
As you might expect, since the Wild Atlantic Way is a trail along the West coast of Ireland, and these cliffs are on the West Coast, they are on the trail.

Gallager's and JP Clarke's Country Pub
Lunch stop on our way to Cobh.

Memorial to Peace and the victims of the Lusitania.
May, 1915, a German U-Boat sank the Lusitania, killing 1196 civilians, 128 which were american. This started the US entry into World War I against Germany.

Beautiful
Those cliffs look gorgeous! That's the one thing I've always wanted to see in Ireland.
