Thursday morning

I was up at 0700 this morning. That's 0200 your time. So everyone is sleeping so I went to the sunroom and had a cup of coffee and fell in love with this hotel and Ireland. The sunroom had linen tablecloths, small, cozy, very, very cozy. Soft Irish music playing in the background, wonderful coffee, warm scones. All by myself, and honestly I don't think it gets any better than this in life. How lucky am I. 45 minutes later, Mike and Sandy and Rick showed up. And........we're off. We went to Balinolockin castle from 1390. Rick had his chance to drive today. Good job. We drove to Doolin and shopped then went to a pub for lunch. O'Connors. We talked with 2 nurses from Canada. They were approximately 25 years old.They wanted to nurse in Ireland but there are no jobs, so...they will eventually nurse in England. Then to the Cliffs of Mohre. We took a 1 hr boat tour then walked on the Cliffs afterward. Really, they  should be one of the 7 wonders of the world because it is AMAZING. Well back to the Bed and Breakfast. We'll have dinner, some wine and plan tomorrow's day. Glad you are all with us. Really, you should see Ireland. Wish you were here. We are in the pub of the hotel currently. There are 2 other couples from USA. Love talking to strangers...you learn so much.
