I meant to write a little bit about Ireland, also. The beautiful misty cliffs were all in County Clare, on the west coast of Ireland. The really huge spectacular ones are the Cliffs of Moher.

The highlight of the trip for me, as is probably apparent given which pictures I posted, was the pet cemetary at Powerscourt, a beautiful estate & gardens about an hour outside Dublin. It was right up my alley. Some of the inscriptions are so incredible I could barely believe it.

Other highlights of Dublin included the beautiful department store Brown Thomas, the amazing Irish cheese plate we had, the amazingly creamy Guinness, the heavenly food market Fallon & Byrne, a nice long evening run to the outskirts of town along the ocean, and the scones at Keogh's.
