Today, we had a three hour drive...
Or it might have been if we hadn't stopped off a million times.
Also the weather was nutty. In the morning it was sunny when we look out, but by the time we got to the door, it was hailing, then rain, sun, rain, sun, windwindwind.. I bought water proof shoes today! My other 2 pairs were water logged.
We went to a to grocery store for jam and bread, and cheese and salami.
Road trip food.
Then! We went to the burren! I saw some horses.. they walked over like they were going to come right to me and stay Hiiii... But they stopped short. Cheaters.
It was gorgeous. What else can I say? You are going to get tired of hearing it.
I said to Morgan today, why are we going to a specific scenic place? The whole place is scenic!!
But it was worth it.
We did this crazy winding one lane road that had a speed limit of 80 km per hour. The shrubs were so high on either side, it wad like Google was taking us out to be killed. It just kept going! It was a fun little adventure.
Crazy rocks, and lakes everywhere. Check out his panoramas.
When we did get back on the road, I saw some kind of graveyard churchy looking thing.
So we pulled over.
We hopped over some fences and found rapunzels tower! It had no way in! Unless you had a 20 foot ladder.
Turns out it was for monks, to defend against invaders. There was a very touching grave yard, dating back to 1100s. It was well kept with flowers and decorations. Some of the graves were so old, they no longer said anything.
The inside wasn't as cool as the outside, but I did discover that the arch I posed in was apparently for pooping on..
one hour later we were in the bustling one way streets of Galway. Who puts their parking lot down the block from the hotel??
Now we are safe and warm in the hotel room, all full from a very nice dinner.. talking about when to set a wedding date..!

We saw a sign that said we could see the caretaker to get the key to get into the Abby for 5 euros. So we wandered across the street, and knocked on someone's door.. a tiny lady just gave us this key to borrow!
