A day of driving and climbing and driving and climbing

Here we are already Wednesday night and we've just arrived at Ballynahinch Castle out of Galway Ireland....way out of....
Well we started early and before we knew it ---9 hours later--I was at Ballynahinch. No incidents at all and I only heard Lorraine gasp once...the tape worked!
We went to the Cliffs of Mohers (will ck on sp. but where we are now only has wifi downstairs so I don't have all the correct spellings with me.)
We ferried across and then drove for an additonal couple of hours. However, they were magnificent and worth it. Do you really think I was going to say anything different? A bit wendy but from a view of about 700 feet you could look out over the Atlantic and watch the waves roll into shore...well, they really don't roll...they actually pound the whay out of the cliffs. Quite dramatic and the sun was out. By the time we got there, finished that and then started the drive again we stopped at a small (everything seems to be small) place to eat. Then off to the drive again. We didn't realize the hotel was still a bit over an hour after we got to Golway. We thought we had reached it....Nothing really exciting to tell you about except tomorrow looks a whole lot better and we'll be staying put. Place is known for it's fishing so I think I may have to teach them what little I know and see how that works fo me.
I have a couple of questions: We have a car and got an upgrade when we picked it up...would we have been better off with one that fit within the lane? or is the fact we got an upgrade the thing to be proudest of? With the lanes only wide enough for two small cars and in some instances only one direction, do you think they could have cut a bit more shrubbery and widened the frickin' lanes another foot or two...Gosh knows they have enough space...they're mostly farmers for goodness sakes! Will write on the hotel tomorrow since we got here so late tonight...and to be honest, I've had a pint or two and really just want some sleep....night all. Hope ryan, Jen and Ben had a great flight and enjoy the vacation time. Sean, will try and call you later...oh yeah, Mom has thrown out all the tape...didn't think it was funny one bit!
