Cliffs of Moher and Inishmore, the Biggest of the Aran Islands...

Everybody..I'm 22!! I was tellin Mom in an e-mail that this time around I actually do feel older, but in a good way. It's so weird being all the way over here and not with you guys, bittersweet ya know? But I'll be sure to enjoy it! I did mean "Singing IN the rain" Mom..haha..things are different here, but not that different, typo:)

So about these 2 really cool trips I took...On Sunday, myself, Amee, Colleen, Issac, Nick and Jon got up really early a took a huge bus to the Cliffs of Moher. First we stopped at this really cool Cave exhibit, not sure the name of it but it was neat. Kinda reminded me of those ones we saw when we were at Lake Shasta. Anyway we also drove by a really old famous Rock, a tomb-like natural formation that has been dated over 6000 years, old huh? It was neat. Luckily we had some decent weather of the Cliffs of Moher. These cliffs were unbelievable. I really cannot explain that enough. I took loads of pictures, so when I get back I'll try and explain it some more. On Monday, the whole group took a trip to the largest of the Aran Islands called Inishmore. Another bus ride plus a ferry ride, and Kel still didn't get sick!! haha, I'm on a roll!! The day couldn't have been more beautiful, probably the best day we've had so far. The hiking was intense, but I would have to say that the cliffs here, although smaller then compared to the Cliffs of Moher, were my favorite place so far in Ireland. I'm pretty sure the sunny day added to me liking, but nonetheless, the place was amazing. The water was so clear, I almost wanted to do some cliff jumpin, like in Klammoth remember Nett? But these cliffs were a bit too high. If anyone has access to Myspace, haha, you should check some of my pictures out, they're pretty neat.

Today, Tuesday July 24th, is my Birthday, for those of you who don't know....:)....and Mom, I finally had the Real and Full Irish Breakfast you were tellin me about. Myself, Amee, Caitlin and Colleen got up early and took me out to breakfast, they asked me last night what I wanted to do and that was one of the things had to do while I was here, so they all got up early for me and joined me. They paid for that and a taxi ride back to school cause we were a little late for Gaelic class. After this post I'm gonna go back to my room, and probably go back into town with the girls for some shoppin. Tonight a bunch of the kids are gonna go out with me into town. Should be very exciting! I'll tell ya all about it manana. Thanks to all who sent Birthday wishes, you've made my day. I'm thinkin of you all so much today, wish you could be here with me.

I Love you and Thanks:)

Happy Birthday Kelly. Sounds like your day has started out good. Now I am hungrey for an Irish breakfast. Did you eat it all? The Cliffs of Mohoir are one of those wonders of the world to me. They were one of my favorites. And if you look to the west from there you are looking towards us. And we will be looking back!!!
Have a Happy Birthday Kelly

Kelly,
I hope you had a great birthday. Sounds like everything after breakfast was going to be a letdown. Glad you enjoyed it. I never got to the computer to post anything yesterday, but know you were on my mind.
Since you're doing some shopping, Keep in mind that as of today leaves only 5 months til Christmas! Imagine Christmas in Ireland!
Hope you had some sunshine for your birthday, but if you didn't, I hope you were able to look up and smile into the rain.
Love you and miss you.
Happy Birthday,
Aunt Debbie

Hi Kelly. Wanted to wish you Happy Birthday yesterday but I had to learn how to enter into this spot. I was afraid if I put it in your regular e-mail add. you might not be picking up. So Happy Birthday...

I can tell from what you've written so far that you are truly happy, abundantly happy, and I'm so glad because I love you with all my heart. Being grandmother to you and to all your cousins & bros. & sisters has become the number one joy in my life. And very few people have ever known so much joy, if you know what I mean. The little ones are coming faster than I can count...I miss you and think of you every day.

Enjoying reading about your time in Ireland.

God love you, always, Gram
