...and live Irish music called a "session" - when musicians just show up to a pub, and anyone with an instrument can join in. After leaving Galway, we headed for the Cliffs of Moher, one of the most beautiful sites in Ireland. On the way we saw a few churches, some of them at least 500 years old:

After the Cliffs of Moher, we went to a castle in Limerick before heading south to Tralee, County Kerry.

Good place to stand and take photos. Your first two of the cliffs are nearly identical to two I took when I visited Ireland in '05.
Beautiful place. Enjoy :-)
You are one blessed man to be there and experience all that God has to offer there!! I "envy" the pub experience . . . prayerfully I'll get the chance one day with my husband beside me. God speed!
Philip,
If you get a chance go take a look at the Lakes of Killarney in Killarney, and go out to Dingle on the Dingle penninsula to take a look at Galarus Oratory beehive monastary where monks lived over 1000 years ago.
Will you be going to Skellig Michael, Philip?
Wow! Wonderful pictures!
What is that castle/tower on the cliffs? Any stories behind that?
I just love the sound of the "session." I encountered something similar once in a pub in Dublin. That is JUST my kind of thing, I would totally be wanting to join in!
All your entries are fascinating & wonderful to see, Filippo! Fabulous photos too - thank you for all!!
God bless, and safe return!
Hugs from Oliver too.. ;D
Of course the Cliffs of Moher are in the county Clare-in fact there is amazing surfing to be had a the foot of the cliffs-world reknowned...I have never seen snow in West Clare before...extraordinary!
