Today, or what is now technically yesterday, was another full and wonderful, but this time CLEAR day in Ireland! We went to the largest of the Aran Islands, Inis Mor, and spent the day trekking across the nine by two mile island, by van and by foot. The view of the sea and much of the island from the fortress that we walked up to was gorgeous, and the lack of handrails separating us from the sheer drop from the cliffs to the rocks and waves way, way below was both frightening and exhilarating. This is the only way to experience: close to the edge, wind in your hair, camera in hand, and a traditional Irish lunch of homemade soup and brown bread waiting for you after you don't fall off!
Tomorrow we head back to Dublin for two more days of fun and sightseeing, and possible shopping, now that we've found the ATM! I've heard tell of a Topshop in Dublin, and I'm more than just a little bit excited.
I'm off to bed - goodnight, Galway!
