The Burren is the opposite of the rest of Ireland. Where most of Ireland has lush green landscape, The Burren is a land of limestone. It was really interesting to see the transition and then walk among the limestone.
On the map we saw a a few places to visit in The Burren National Park. One of them was a tomb called Poulnabrone Dolmen
Throughout Ireland many farmers used stone to create fences. In the Burren these fences were everywhere. Although the limestone is abundant here, it seems like it would take a lot of work to create these fences:
From the tomb we headed back toward Doolin and to it's port. We hung out on the roocks and watched the water crash on the shore. We even got to see a dolphin.
Before dinner we got to see this beautiful rainbow. It was a great reminder of how God keeps his promises. He truly blessed us on this trip.
Since Doolin was known for its music, we wanted to hear live music, so we asked our receptionist where the music would be played that night. Unfortunately she was not in tune with what was happening and we didn't have any music at dinner, but we went to another pub down the road and got a front row seat to a three man band. I was really tired, so after a pint, we made our way back to the hotel and went to bed.
