Trip to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren

On Saturday, September 17th, I went on a day tour to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren, which is a large area of Ireland that's covered in limestone.

 Here is a map of the route that the tour took and what sites we looked at.
 This gives a brief description of some of the places that we stopped at.

It wasn't this sunny when we went, so I thought I would put this
 postcard on to show what it could look like during a sunny day.
