June 2013 found me back in Ireland but this time I focused the trip on the West Coast of Ireland in County Mayo and a bit in Galway. My goal was not only to show my mother, aunt and cousin the sights but also to try to find more information about my ancestors on my father's side. Our first stop on our way north from Shannon airport was to the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare.
The Cliffs of Moher are Ireland's most visited natural attraction. They stand 702 feet at their highest point and stretch for 5 miles along the Atlantic coast. On a clear day, which we had, you can see the Aran Islands and Galway Bay. O'Brien's Tower is at the highest point and serves as the viewing point.
Those are some of the most stunning photos I have ever seen.
