My trip this past weekend was to the Burren. Here are some selected photos:

Dún Guaire of the Ó hEidhin clan

Poulnabrone wedge tomb. As an archaeology major, I really geeked out here.

A manor house owned by the O'Briens

Cliffs of Moher

O'Brien's Tower facing the Aran Islands

Bunratty Castle

I was in Co. Clare a few years ago at about this time. You're right - very green for autumn, especially since I live in New England! I had a good time walking about the Burren, and sampling a few local pubs.

Beautiful pictures Greg. The one of the rays of sun busting out of the clouds over top of the cliffs is beautiful. Did you get to the caves, or to Doolin?

I really love you new house! Those are all awesome.

We didn't go to the caves, but we spent the night in Doolin. Best craic in Ireland! Seriously, Doolin was really, really fun. It's not called "The Music Capital of Ireland" for nothing!
