2 day update

I was so tired last night that I took a break off from posting. Yesterday, we went on the Paddywagon tour to the Cliffs of Moher. It started from the tourist office at 8 am and we didn't get back until 8:30 pm. It was a great tour. I definitely recommend this tour company if you ever come to Ireland. The cliffs are on the far west coast of Ireland. Almost straight across from Dublin. We drove through Galway and county Clare and stopped at Corcomroe Abbey. The abbey was very picturesque and had tombstones and graves through out. The scenery on the drive was beautiful and green with sheep, cows and horses. Really, what you picture Ireland to look like. We drove on through the Burren. The Burren is all limestone with flowers and grass here and there. But does look
like a moon rock formation. The guide said this area used to be part of the ocean floor, many million years ago. We also drove next to the Atlantic coast. We stopped at the town of Doolin for lunch. We had a great seafood chowder with brown bread. After that we arrived at the Cliffs of Moher. The cliffs were spectacular. It was extremely windy, cold, and wet on the cliffs. Definitely an amazing site to see.
We then had a stop at Bunratty castle for pictures. As we were driving there were many old castle ruins in the fields. The guide was telling us about Ireland's history on the tour and it is amazing the hardships the Irish have had to endure. There was a lot of oppression from foreign rule and the potato famine was a tragic blow to the population.
Connor did good during such a long tour and we got a lot of compliments of how good he was. There were some
moments when he was bored and was crying. He didn't cry for more than a few minutes though. Tours are hard on him and Michael has promised we won't do a tour like this in a while.

Today we started moving things to our new apartment. We also went to the Dunnes department store and bought some towels and hangers. Our shipment will come in next Tuesday. We called for phone and broadband and the broadband won't be on until Friday of next week. I will have to find outside places with wifi. I can't believe Michael goes to work on Monday already. Time is flying by. Here are some pictures from our adventures:
