today was... to say the very least, incrediable. the cliffs of mohr are the absolute best part about ireland. i have never seen anything quite like them. as i have said before the weather in ireland is so fickle. one minute it is pouring rain and the next minute it is sunny as can be. that is exactly what happened again today. when we got out of our car this afternoon to start hiking to the cliffs, we were freezing. my dad and i kept putting on layer after layer. i had two sweatshirts, a hat, a rain jacket and rain boots. my dad had a ski suit on, only he claims that it is a "rain suit". not to be mistaken. it was so funny, the lady in the car parked next to us noticed my dad putting on so many layers she said, "sir it's not that cold." it was hilarious. we were like, "and....who asked you?" we didn't say that to her face of course but after she walked away.
as we started getting closer to the cliffs the sun started coming out and i was taking off all my layers. i was so glad the sun came out because it made the view of the cliffs so much better. it was scary being so close to the edge of the cliffs with the wind blowing as hard as it was. i kept having the image of myself blowing away. my dad and i both felt this was a great sunday activity. since we weren't able to attend church, it was nice being in such a peaceful, beautiful place. seeing such a beautiful creation felt like it was a true testament that there is a god. ireland is one of the most amazing places i have ever been to.
dad and i have alomst reached the halfway mark of our trip. it is crazy how fast the trip has gone but it is even more crazy that we still have so much to see. today it has been exactly one week since we arrived in ireland and i feel like we have packed so much into a short amount of time. we have seen the city, the country, the ocean, castles! ect. i feel really lucky to have the oppurtunity to see such a wonderful place, espcially being able to see it with such a wonderful person. my dad and i get along so well. he makes me laugh all day everyday and we have had such a fun time together. we were close before but this trip has brought us even closer. we talk and joke on our drives from town to town and have little chats before we fall asleep. my dad said to me one night, "i feel like we are at camp!" haha what a funny but true thing to say! it has been like we are at camp. the best camp ever!!
this picture was taken before our ferry came to pick us up at take us across the lake. it was of course windy on the dock and even more windy once we got on the ferry. the ride was a total of about 30 min. this was the beginning of a very long travel today.
there are so many look out points while driving from place to place in ireland. i just want to take a picture of every single thing and pictures don't do justice. every 20 mintues we are like, "want to pull over?" this is probably what takes us so long to travel but it has been total worth it.
