Citizen Nick Word Center: <strong>Congratulations Ken and Laura!</strong>

Today's Topic: More Travel, Ireland, Weddings

I think I've failed to mention in these past posts that the whole reason I went to Ireland was to see my brother get married. So here's the them. Congratulations on making this big step. As far as the picture above, I'm not sure what's going on, but it's the best one I had. There is also this one below:

I have to say as well, I really enjoyed their ceremony more than most weddings I've been to (I'm sure I offended some people with that comment, my apologies). They wrote their own vows and eliminated the usually preaching about the holy sanctity of marriage (I hope I don't sound anti-marriage, I'm really not. I'm just anti-preaching).

So, more about travel. We left Dublin after the wedding and headed to Doolin which is a small town on the west coast near the Cliffs of Mohr, or as I liked to call them, the Dread Cliffs of Mohr.

I've heard a lot of people say that Ireland really exists in the countryside. Meaning that if you only see Dublin or some other city, you're not really seeing Ireland. While obviously there is a lot of Ireland I didn't see, I tend to believe that this statement is true. What I saw of Ireland's rural area was breath-taking.

I have to explains something about the pictures below. I brought three disposable cameras with me to Ireland. The first one I took almost entirely in Dublin at the wedding. The second one I started the first day and Doolin and promptly dropped it off a cliff (a little one) and into a tide pool. The winding mechanism broke, so I wasn't able to use the camera anymore. Luckily, the Dozen or so pictures I took before the accident still came out, but the colors came out a little funny. Any, that's why some of these pictures look they way they do. Strangely, I've been told the pictures actually look better this way.

Well, without further ado, the pictures rescued from the Lost Camera of the Dread Cliffs of Mohr...
