Ireland is full of wildflowers. We found these next to a beach we stopped by.
Our first stop on the Ring was an old stone fort that was probably first built around 1200 BC. It was made of stone and the most recent improvements were during the first 200-300 years after Christ.
We had another hike to the top of a mountain and as you can see, the wind was blowing hard. I think Cayce should look into getting some hair products that would help her maintain this look when we get back to Alabama.
The view from this mountain was great. The clouds were high, so we had a clear view. The wind was really making the ocean choppy, and as you can imagine the sound of the water hitting these rocks was awesome. There was a large boat trying to make the trip back from the largest of these islands with some tourists on it, and we dubbed it the "vomit cruise".
Later in the afternoon we arrived in Doolin, our destination for the day. Doolin is on the coast and is known for its traditional Irish Music. We were able to see two different musical groups play. The first group was just 2 guys, one with a guitar and the other with a banjo. They were excellent. The 2nd group was at least a fiddle, a guitar, and a banjo. We couldn't see them because there were so many people around, but they sounded good. For dinner, we ate at our Bed and Breakfast, which is also a restaurant, and Jason had one of the best desserts he has ever eaten (a chocolate truffle flourless cake with mint ice cream!).
