This morning we ventured out to see the Cliffs of Moher.
Ross and Jess and the electric fence that zapped me when I backed into it to take this photo!
After the Cliffs of Moher we went on a loop ride up the
coast road toward Black Head and then inland through the Burren, the vast
limestone plateau.
The stark bare rock resembles a lunar landscape – all gray, made even more flat by the gray skies above.
Riding through this landscape, alone, because I seem to be a
slower rider than the others, was a very peaceful yet exhilarating experience!
We stopped for lunch at a small cafe where a couple just leaving told us about an Irish author, James O'Donohue (John O'Donohue) that she recommended. She was on her way across the street to see his grave. I just read one of his books, "Anam Ćara" in preparation for this trip! So I had to...
Then it was back on the bikes and North along the coast!
(waiting for me!)

The next sight to see as the Poulnabrone Dolmen, a buriel
chamber dating back to 4200-2900 BCE, translation: “The hole of the sorrows.”

Following the loop we arrived back at Sheedys in time for a
shower and another fantastic dinner!
Stunning!
