Day 3

Unfortunately did not have my camera on Day 2 when we traveled to Kinvarra and hiked in the Burren magical forests.
After visiting an art gallery/community center in Kilnaboy we hiked up Mullach Mor in the Burren National Park.


This is a natural sulfur lake

This is fossilized coral reef on the mountain

Day 1

Today we took a tour across the entire east side of the Burren landscape, led by the dean of the art school.
Just outside of Ballyvaughan, 4,000 year old dwelling


A 5,000 year old tomb up in the mountains


After a visit to the pub we visited a 16th century church

Then we traveled to Doolin, which is essentially on the coast of the edge of the world (think the lowest level in Inception). About 40 minutes west from Ballyvaughan.
