Ireland

After leaving our friends in England we flew RyanAir to Dublin. Whoaa what an experience RyanAir colors are shocking yellow and blue, and the selling they do on board would put QVC to shame. It was to laugh - but we arrived in Dublin safe and sound and met up with our nephew Kyle. Again we were so blessed to have such great host. We stayed at Kyle's place and he slept on the floor while we took over his room. He never complained and treated us so great. While we were there we took some train tours in Ireland. We went to Bunratty castle. It is a restored castle it was built around 1462 and I really loved it. I really felt like I could understand a little bit what it would have been like. I really didn't get the concept before now that these castles were for the protection of the rich. Everything about the design was around the safety of the household. I loved the murder hole where they poured down hot oil, and I found the circular stairways to be so much fun. They way the rooms were all spread out you couldn't help but wish you were a kid living here. As an adult it wouldn't be as much fun. (less running and hiding you know)

After leaving Bunratty we traveled over to the cliffs of Moher.
