(Mother's trip to Ireland) Day 4 Ireland, storm in Atlantic and Loophead lighthouse

 Day 4 in Ireland. Tried to see Cliffs of Moher from ferry excursion but storm in the Atlantic made havoc of the trip. Very cold, rainy and VERY CHOPPY. Could not see the cliffs at all and lots of people on the boat were making big time use of their barf bags.....we did not get sick. I did get very dizzy so sat very still, closed my eyes and let the sway of the boat put me to sleep until big bumps of waves woke me up. They should have canceled the ride and refunded our money. Nuff said!











So in the afternoon we drove on down to a lighthouse on the tip of the peninsula and had a lovely lunch on the way. We saw tranquil scenes of cows, sheep, farmland and beautiful homes. We also saw a lot of old abandoned and dilapidated rock homes with no roofs from many years ago, possibly when many Irishmen left during the potato famine.
