1st Irish Hottie



Day 3
Too early to mention a.m.
After a fantastic sleep I head out for breakfast. Oh baby it was good. There was an incredibly handsome German guy sitting with us at the table, mama mia.

11 a.m.
We are here at the Cliffs of Moher, and it is breath taking. The winds feel as if they are going to suck you off the cliff and pull you into the Atlantic. It is raining and windy, and I can just imagine myself slipping on a rock to my death. I got lots of pics despite the weather, and we decide to come back on a nicer day.

So close to lunch time we head out to Doolin to have some lunch at Gus O'Connors Pub. I take the trad route and have some warm Irish Stew that apparently had some Guinness in it, defiantly took the chill out of my bones. Also I would like to note that drinking early in the day in Ireland, is a no brain er, people hardly bat an eye. LOVE IT!

So now that I am slightly buzzed I am back on the bus heading to Roundstone. We stop for a photo op at O'Briens Castle, and at The Quiet Man Bridge.

At 4 we get to Roundstone. It's adorable. A picturesque fishing village. Prior to my trip I was given a list of movies to watch before my arrival, and among them was The Matchmaker which was incidental filmed in Roundstone. Yeah, it looked just like the movie. My first ordre of business...Hit the PUB! At half passed beer thirty (6:30 for you non drinkers) had my first in Roundstone and I was greeted by the most adorably handsome bartender EVER. His name was Richard, oh and he was smooth. We hung out there most of the night, well until my friends decided they wanted to go, which for me was was too early. So at 11 I said goodbye to my new favorite bartender and walked back to the B&B and it was still daylight, yeah that was weird.
