Cliffs of Moher! Now off to the North...

I had so much fun in Dublin!! What a cool city with awesome pubs! My last day there I did the Guinness Storehouse tour and then the Jameson Distillery tour right afterwards. That made for a fun afternoon. Especially considering the Guinness tour includes only one free pint, yet they waited till my third pint in the Gravity Bar (7th floor, great views!) to take my ticket!! Then two Japanese girls gave me their nearly full pints. And you can't refuse free beer in Ireland...

I am currently in Galway on the west coast of Ireland! Today I went on a daylong bus tour around several castles and the Irish countryside. Then we saw the 203 meter tall Cliffs of Moher which stretch for 8 km along the coast! We walked right along the edge which was very scary but I got some cool pictures. I went with several fun people I met at my hostel here.

Today is Canada Day and a few Canadians from the hostel demand we all celebrate so we will be going out soon. Tomorrow I will be taking the bus all the way north to Belfast in Northern Ireland. I am using that as a stopping point to take a ferry over to Glasgow. I will hopefully also meet up with my buddy who is interning in Belfast. I can't wait for Scotland, especially Edinburgh as I have heard amazing things!

Take a look at some pics so far
