This first photo is one of the Cliffs of Moher. It's of the O'Brian watch tower there. Its super pretty. I have tons of photos of it, the watchtower is strangely tiny though. You'd think they'd want something bigger, but I guess not. This was the only day It rained the entire time we were in Ireland. Go figure, the day we take a tour and spend an hour running around outside, has to be the day that it decides to rain like mad and drench us. It turned out alright, because we got some amazing photos, and really, whats Ireland without a little rain. We did almost get left behind because we were buying souvineers at the gift shop and didn't keep track of the time. 
this next photo is of a castle where they apparently hold daily mideavel dinners in the summer. It'd be interesting to see, but i'm sure its way expensive, just like everything else in Ireland. I mean really, 20 euro for a hamburger and half a plate of fries? granted, the ketchup was free for once, but not worth 20euro.
this next photo is of a fantastic teeshirt I saw in a window. Apparently they don't like certainty in the UK because Galway - just PROBABLY the best city in Ireland. no proof, jury is still out, can't decide if they like belfast, cork, or dublin more, no, no.
This last photo is of Oscar Wilde and his brother. They really like their writers in Ireland, very proud of their literary heritage. My big question, though, was what's it like to be Oscar Wilde's Brother? Apparently, he was also a writer. But how do you go about your life saying "oh yeah, I'm Oscar Wilde's brother! yeah, he's pretty cool... i'm a writer too y'know... oh, you havn't heard of me? no, i can't get you his autograph." ect, ect.

Cool photo of the watch tower. The t-shirt reminds me of a story I heard a speaker tell, poking fun at his norwiegian heritage. He said that if the Norwegian's would have been in charge of naming the Great Lakes, they would have named Lake Superior, Lake Pretty Good....
Hey, Trish--Great, great pictures. Looks just like I imagined it would. Sounds like you're have a great time, seeing everything there is to see. Keep those pictures coming--Grandma
PS--Loved the postcard!
