The Burren

Ohhhh FANTASTIC!!!! We took a Tour today that was offered through our time share place. It was a tour of the Burren which is just a really odd piece of land. The Burren used to be a sea floor that like millions of years ago was pushed up. So there's these huge fields that are just full of what looks like cement slabs. Our driver Allan called it pavement. There's a lot of plants growing in it now, like blackberries and hazelnuts. People are allowed to pick whatever they want. I thought that was pretty neat. Allan took us to a cave, but it cost like 8Euro each and I'm not a huge fan of caves. Dark and scary, no thanks. So we climed around the burren and took pictures

 We got closer to the coast and took some more burren pictures there. It was CRAZY windy, but it was so beautiful. Allan kept pointing out old famine houses and homes from what it was like to grow up in Ireland in the 70's and 80's before the Celtic Tiger, which was basically the economic boom in the late 90s through 2005ish. He Ireland used to be more like a 3rd world country, where 8 people used to live in a 2 bedroom house. After the Celtic Tiger it was 2 people living in an 8 bedroom house. Just like in the US, people were greedy and bought too much. Anyway, here's some coast pictures:

Stay tuned for some more pics this evening. Got to get something to eat, STARVING. Brendan is over Irish food, but I want MORE! I haven't even had much corned beef yet, JEEZ. Anyway, next up you'll see some Cliffs of Moher pics up soon!

The more we see, the more I want to stay! The Cliffs were breathtaking! Comings soon!
