It was an insane drive up.

Cliffs of Moher. Note the castle on the edge.
The sign I saw just prior to leaving everyone else behind and venturing out beyond the fence for a stroll along the edge of the cliffs.
Standing at the edge. Three feet from the edge with no fence. It's 600 feet down, and people are warned that gusts of wind blow people off the edge occasionally. It was a little scary, but at least I wouldn't have had to drive anymore if a gust did take me down. That would have been a relief.
Fancy house built by rich people who are long dead.
Another castle near Wicklow Mountains
Nice door.
Looking out from the castle
I guess this is the front side of the castle
Dad posing next to the front door
In Dublin for a visit to the Guinness factory.
Nice tour, but wife and Ann were consumed by the barrel making video.
I think that was the highlight of the trip for both of them.
Barrel making. Seriously.

Gardens were obviously past peak, but were still beautiful.
A little shrine to the owners mother.
My boy DaVinci
It took 100 men 10 years to build these gardens. It was impressive.
Standing on the edge of the Cliffs of Moher. Right at the edge.
And there you have it!
