Galway!?!?

Today I woke up at a normal hour since I ignored Sahar's first two wake up calls. When I finally got up from my king size bed (I got to bless team hotel) I immediately asked myself what are we doing here in Galway? What were we thinking coming here? While I davened I was disturbed by the ridiculous plans my friends were thinking of doing for today's activity. These ideas included cliff diving, clay pigeon shooting and more life threatening activities. After I expressed my thoughts on not dying we decided collectively that we were going to go on a bus tour to the Cliffs of Moher. For those interested- the cliff of moher is Ireland's most visited natural attraction with a magical vista that captures the hearts of up to one million visitors every year. The cliffs rise to 214m per 700 ft at the highest point and range for 8 km or 5 miles over the Atlantic Ocean on the western seaboard of Co. Clare. Now you might think I learned these facts from listening to the tour but actually I had to do my research from the brochure since I was sleeping for most of the tour. Tour guides MUST cater to those with attention deficit disorders! You got to grab your audience with the first minute otherwise its all downhill from there! Now who would interest you more? An Irish man talking about god knows what or Dee singing broadway tunes at the top of her lungs with complete disregard to the fact that she was in public! I believe you can all guess that I went with the latter. I have to tell you all that the cliffs were fabulous and breath taking. If you want to see them for yourself you can google them, watch a documentary or watch Harry Potter and other famous movies such as Leap Year. When we arrived at the cliffs we were granted one hour from our tour guide. We decided to stop at the cafe first to wake us up from the educational bus ride. 45 minutes later we realized that we had about 5 minutes to take in the cliffs that we just travelled on a deathly boring 3 hour bus ride for. The tour guide/bus driver warned us that if we were not back on time he would leave us stranded. Knowing me and Mimi and how we like to live on the edge... we almost missed that bus! He actually left 2 minutes early- we may have even left a few behind. Surprisingly we made it tho. The tour continued with lunch at a pub and some castles but I can't really tell you all that much about it since once again the tour guide had put me to sleep. Was this day a total bust? That's debatable among the group! All I know is that I had a blast making fun of today! - Designated Driver- RoCKo ( beer is gluten and I don't drink)
