To Ireland, Land of the Green (or so EuroGreg is told...)

Writer: EuroGreg

So, we went from Edinburgh to Dublin, drove to Belfast and toured the country of Northern Ireland. They are also based on the British pound, which means we're now poor :) That country has been through a lot of ... stuff. We did a black cab tour which takes you around Belfast and talks about the political turmoil in the city. There were some murals that reflected this as well. Some pics available at Mike's Flickr account (link below.)

We also saw the Rope Bridge and Giant's Causeway - two separate places. Very cool places along the northern coast. We drove ALL the way to Galway from there. A 5 hour drive through the winding roads of Ireland. We're starting to get used to driving on the left side of the road and the right side of the car. Better watch out. Mike and I may just keep up that habit back in Illinois!

We're writing this blog entry from Galway, which has a hostel with computers that aren't overly restricted and actually available for use. Mike has carefully selected some of his photos to upload for your viewing pleasure. Tomatina photos will unfortunately need to wait until our return to be seen by the public. Check out the link below for more stuff from Scotland, including the Highland Games, and now Ireland.

I can't believe we'll back so soon. Time really flies when you tour the world. Today, we check out more than just the bars of Galway (like last night!) and then off to see the Cliffs of Moher, where the world just drops off into the ocean. Until next time...

More pictures!
