Coming to an end

Our trip is almost to an end as we are on a bus to Dublin and fly out tomorrow. The last two days in Kilkee were great! I really like Kilkee...the views were fantastic there and I loved hiking around the cliffs. It did rain for most of the day yesterday but it wasn't a torrential downpour. It stopped by the late afternoon and we even got a peak at the sun as it was setting. I wore my legs out hiking all over the place.
We spent the morning exploring the tidal pools. I could've spent all day doing that if the tide hadn't been coming in. As we hiked back up the shoreline, we ran into a couple of guys that were working on a house near the head of the cliff trail. A marine rescue guy was hanging out with them. Turns out he was worried that Jennie and I were not paying attention to the rising tide and was checking to make sure we didn't get stranded out there. They were all so kind and showed us the house they were working on. The marine rescue guy walked with us back towards town and told us about some of the history of the area and the storms that had come through there in the past.
We spent the rest of the afternoon hiking along the cliffs. I must have taken a billion pictures of the waves & the rocks...I'm probably going to regret that later. :)
So off to Cinci tomorrow. I'm ready to go home, I think...it's been lovely and beautiful here but I'm ready to sleep in my own bed and cook my own food.
