Cliffs of Moher

Sometimes when it promises to be a beautiful day you just need to take a walk along the Cliffs of Moher.  This is one of the most popular tourist pulls in all of Ireland.  As we hoped, most tourists have gone home so it was not as crowded as it was two years ago.  The day, the weather, did not disappoint.  Initially, we had intended to start off in Doolin but checking out the area we decided to do the Cliffs instead.  We only walked a mile or so.  I continue to be astounded at the number of STUPID people that temp fate by getting right to the edge just to take a photo.   As you walk up you can clearly see some of the stones jutting out there is nothing underneath, but still they climb all over them like it’s an amusement park vying for that perfect selfie. Thank the gods nothing bad happened this day.   

One of the most interesting things was the bathroom – Unisex.  I’ve never experienced one before and it’s a little bizarre standing line with men, women & children of both sexes.  Taking the next available stall knowing there’s a man in the stall next to you, or a man just walked out of the stall you enter, standing at the sinks washing & drying your hands standing next to a man doing the same thing.  Casually smiling at each other.  No one seemed to notice or care – at least no one said anything.  Seriously, it did seem quite normal – we all must pee at some point.
