Ireland 2008

So on from Boston we flew direct to Dublin, where Susan promptly came down with a bad case of the flu. This meant we were less ambititous in terms of sightseeing but still managed to a full loop of the island as well as spend some time with Sarah, Ang and Sharon in Dublin and Kevin and Jane in Galway.


So here it goes....

Typical Irish roads in Father Ted country (Mark and Kevin in the front of the rental car)


We found St Patrick at the Cliffs of Moher
