Day 4: Wednesday June 8th We got up a bit earlier than the previous day and headed for County Clare. Our mission today was to find the house in the Burren where they filmed "Father Ted" as well as the Cliffs of Moher. I had found directions to the house on the Internet and hoped they were right. We took a couple wrong turns but eventually found it! We were thrilled and stopped by the road to take pictures. A neighbor was working on a stone fence up the road and must have thought we were crazy... But I'm sure he's seen this before. Apparently there is a family living there, and we didn't want to disturb them. So we turned around and headed back to a main road. Next on the agenda was getting to the beautiful cliffs of Moher. And we did. The last time we were there the parking lot was close to the cliffs next to an adorable stone cottage that served as a gift shop. This time the parking lot was torn up and major construction was going on. There was a makeshift gift shop across the highway with a much larger parking area. The walk went over the hill past many cows next to the fence. Meri wanted several pictures of them. Thus coining Robb's famous quote of the day... "We live in IOWA!! We don't need any more pictures of stinkin' cows!" This only encouraged the kids to point them out for the remainder of the trip. The walk was through construction, but came out of the edge of the cliffs to a gorgeous view. Ryan, Meri & I purchased the euro tickets to get to the top of O'Briens ...
