"May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door."
Although we stayed at the top of a killer hill in Clifden, Ireland (one that definitely left us short of breath but with stronger legs) our time was filled with "warm words," great conversation, and wonderful Irish music and song throughout the cold, mist-filled days and nights. We fell in love with the streets of Clifden...especially Beach road which I tried to run everyday. Our day trips into wild western Ireland were breathtaking. Back in the states, as I sit at my computer in our nation's capitol I am processing the sites, silence, and emotions of the green isle.
Below is a photo-journal of our time in Ireland.
