I'm very excited to finally be so close to going, after years of planning and hoping!! <br><br>My next post will be from India!!!<br>

Day 3 led us up north a bit along the Atlantic Ocean to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. <br><br>If you haven't heard anything about the Cliffs, I would highly recommend researching and visiting as soon as possible. The weather is a bit temperamental but it is honestly one of the world's most beautiful places. The cliffs are 100s of feet above sea level. They overlook the Atlantic and the water can be seen splashing up against the ...

... didnt want to board with 6 other people tonight, and that we just wanted to relax and be by ourselves haha surprising? no. We wanted to do nothing altogether by ourselves!!!! Sooooo we decided to check out a bed and breakfast. What a great thought. we are going to be bed and breakfast coniseurs once this is all said and done...haha who ever thought of B and B's is a smash hit because we are staying in places for 20 euros, with ...

... museum itself was built into a section in (or very near?) the parliament building, so that was pretty cool. It has some very intricate, unique architecture inside. Also inside was a very complete history of Ireland, starting around 10,000 BCE. Although finding the placards that were in English (as opposed to Gaelic) was a little difficult, they did a really good job summarizing what everything was. It was really easy to follow ...

... a site to behold. We walked around the tourist part, but we were soon done with that and decided to venture off the beaten path a bit... Now I am sure you all know that I am pretty accident prone, so when we went to the area that was "off limits" (though there were a ton of people hopping the wall) I was a bit scared, but I survived and got the best pictures of the day from it. It was really neat to be off of the pavement and away from the walls ...

... a platinum band with a diamond Claddagh center stone. When I saw the price, well over 1200 Euro, I quickly put it back. I decided on a nice one, a bit more than a lot of the ones that I had seen, but within the 100 Euro range. I couldn&#8217;t take it home though because I needed to have it go down two sizes. It will be ready tomorrow. <br><br>I had planned to meet up with some other ...

... a brief run through of where we could see all the Beatle sites.<br>The first day we walked to the docks and went through a museum of sorts called the Beatle story. it was very cool. We then walked to find the cavern pub and the greapes bar were the Beatles would play and relax respectively. Michelle was in Beatle heaven. <br>Liverpool has some of the nicest people we have met so far. While we were walking around trying to find a good pub to ...

AGHHH it was so cold- but not that that bad! or at least I thought that like wow hey not too bad! then she dove in! I was like what no don't leave me here!!! All these people were gathering at the peer to watch us people were even taking pictures! haha probably some ...

... are far, far away from each other. Later in the afternoon I wandered around central Galway with Katherine. We browsed through a store that had body jewellery (for Katherine) and brightly coloured clothing (for me). I liked some of it--unique. Resisted the urge to buy, though. I like dressing uniquely. People here do so more than at home. What's popular in Galway right now? A style called "boho," which seems to be cowboys meet hippies...boots (not cowboy boots ...
