DAY 9 – 8 JULY Bunratty Folk Park and the Cliffs of Moher

A rainy day, but clear views. Robbie gave a history of Ireland and different peoples while we drove from Killarney through Limerick. We visited Bunratty Castle & Folk Park and enjoyed learning about castle life and mingling with the animals amongst thatched roof buildings. A few limericks were composed on the way to the Cliffs of Moher.

The Cliffs of Moher were absolutely spectacular – everyone loved them! We drove through the Burren on the way to Galway (Robbie had the kids reciting “We’re all going to Galway” the whole way) and stopped at the Poulnabronne Dolmen to experience the overworldly landscape and see this 4000-5000 year old structure.

After dinner, we had a GREAT time with Neal, a busdriver and talented singer/performer who sang a set for our Singers and sang some traditional Irish songs with them. Again, very much loved.Tomorrow, we sing at Kylemore Abbey and go to a castle banquet!
