The Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher rise about 650 feet above the Atlantic Ocean on the Western coast of Ireland. We arrived in the early afternoon and the light was against us, but the view was still spectacular. The wind along this coast can be terribly strong. Even so, not far away there is a world class links golf course. Our guide said the wind on the course can easily reach 80 miles an hour.

As I walked up the hill to O'Brien's Tower once or twice I felt like our USA weather persons out in a hurricane. This tower was built as a viewing point for Victorian tourists.

Today we visited the region of Connemara in County Galway.

Everyone in our group is doing well.
