We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, I started off with my typical four layers, scarf and hat but by the end of the day I'd shed down to two layers. The sun was out, hardly any clouds to be seen with the perfect breeze rolling in.
We biked along the 'low road' which in only wide enough for one at in most places, but that's fine since we only saw five cars or so during our visit. We passed cows, calves, goats and horses grazing in various sections of the miles and miles of walled land.
The highlight of our day for me was definitely the cliffs at Dun Aonghasa. So beautiful. It's crazy, it was a couple hundred foot drop to the sea with no guard rails. I, of course, walked right to the edge and sat down...I about have Jeremy a heart attack. It was amazing though. We spent some time, getting lots if photos, video and ate our lunch before heading back. Definitely worth the trip over from Dublin.

This cow was staring me down! Check out the walls though, no cement or anything....
I'm not sure how, but I managed to not only call this horse over to the fence but actually touch it....(I'm quite intimidated by horses, in fact I'm realizing now that I see this photo how small he was, in person he seemed massive....)
Yes, that is my foot hanging over, BUT that is a ledge just below me which at the time looked like a safety net...I later realized it was just a bit of stone jutting out and would never actually hold my weight...we aren't sure but estimate that it was +/- 2,000 feet down to that water....I loved it! Jeremy is about 20 feet from the edge going 'sara...sara....um....you're mom is going to kill me!' :)
Notice Jeremy's wide stance and intense look of concentration as he tries NOT to look down, also notice how far he is from the edge....Now notice my look of joy and relaxed nature....and the fact that I'm further out than Jeremy which means I'm close the edge on a piece that was jutting out a bit....we are such different people...
