Cead Mile Failte!!! (a hundred thousand welcomes)

(The town of Adare, where we are staying tonight)

(some Celtic crosses at an old church)

(The Cliffs of Moher, almost 700 feet tall, amazing!)

(This is why I am glad we bought a GPS device, this is a typical group of road signs in a small town, how confusing, but it makes for a great picture)

(the ruins of a castle that we stopped at today, one of several we got to see!)

Hello Everyone!!

It was another amazing day in Ireland! Today felt like we actually got into the "real Ireland". We left the cities behind and drove through a lot of smaller towns on our trip to the Cliffs of Moher and eventually here to Adare where we are spending the night. We got to see lots of picturesque small towns filled with old Irish men wearing tweed caps, apparently this Ireland still does exist!

The pictures above are just a small sample of some of what we saw today. The weather was perfect again, not a cloud in the sky. We were told to expect cloudy and rainy weather and if we got lucky we may get 1 or 2 sunny days on a typical Ireland vacation, well we have had nothing but sunshine our whole trip and the forecast looks good for the next several days as well! Someone upstairs must like us! Sherri is still battling a head cold so we stopped into a pharmacy today and talked with a pharmacist and she suggested some things and Sherri said that she has been feeling better since taking the suggested medicines, so that is good.

Tomorrow we are off to the Dingle Peninsula where we are staying in the coastal town of Castlegregory. I will try and blog more tomorrow night!

Much prayer is required on my part to not succumb to the dangers of jealousy.
