I came with family and we rented a house in County Clare, which is on the west coast of Ireland. This house was steps, and i mean steps away from the water just south of the Cliffs of Moher. We took many day trips to different parts of the western half of Ireland and I went with some people to Dublin for 2 days. It was weird knowing i drove across an entire country in 4 hours!

Anyway, love, love the scenery. I think what struck me most was just how many cow and sheep meadows there are. Seriously, there is one about 20 ft from my bedroom window. I've seen enough sheep and cows to last me awhile!

I have many wonderful pictures. Took something close to 1500 pics, but i am too lazy to upload now. ALthough that could change once i start packing.

Highly recommend this place to anyone, especially if it's your first trip overseas. I even drove! Although that took some getting used to. I'm afraid when i go to get in the car when i get home tomorrow, i'll keep going to the right side and try to drive on the left.

Where did your friend stay? Are you enjoying your time in SF? THat's probably one of my 3 favorite places in all of the US. I could and would move there in a heartbeat.

Your trip sounds amazing. I really can't wait to see the pictures. I'm going to be in Dublin for a semester next year, and I'm basically counting down the hours already. I can't believe you drove, though; I won't even drive in California because I think the west coast is too different than the east

I'm absolutely in love with San Francisco. It's definitely in my top three favorite places, too. I love how diverse the entire Bay Area is. You can go to Union Square and have the big city feel. You can go to Berkeley and get the do-it-yourself hippy feel. You can live in my hood in Oakland and get the these-might-be-my-last-hours-to-live feel. SO MANY OPTIONS
