Ireland: Day Three & Four

I write to you from the ferry from Killiner to Tarbert. These past two days have not been as stressful since Dad has gotten use to the driving. :)

On day three, we traveled out of Northern Ireland and into Ireland. We stopped at the town of Armagh since Grandma wanted to go to St. Patrick's Cathedral.  We ended up at the Church of Ireland Cathedral instead of the Catholic one though . . . We did enjoy the small town however and had a wonderful lunch at a small café. Before heading to our place of stay for the evening, Jacob, my mom, and I did some rope climbing while my grandparents and dad hit up a local pub. The place we stayed at for the evening was an old barn. It was a cute little place, and Jacob and I got to sleep in their Hobbit house. It was a fun adventure, but very cold.

There were many sheep found on the early morning walk my mom and I took.

We departed early the next morning, stopped in town for an Irish breakfast, and headed for the Cliffs of Moher. I loved the Cliffs of Moher! Jacob, my mom, and I hiked a little ways to one of the cliffs. It was really windy, but an enjoyable afternoon. We then traveled to the place we were staying before heading back into town for dinner. The place we ate at had an incredible seafood chowder. I've never had a seafood chowder with so much seafood. It was delicious. Jacob and I also did some exploring in town while Jacob played Pokemón Go. It was interesting to see how many kids were walking around town - it reminded me a lot of Wayzata.





Now, we currently wait to take the ferry across the bay. Today we plan to drive the Ring of Kerry before heading to Budapest on Friday.

Szia,

Ashley
