The people in Ireland are very easy to talk to and help in any way possible when we look lost. Yesterday we stayed on the wrong train and the conductor helped us get to right one, first person we saw on street walking from bus asked if we needed directions cause we were looking at the map. A lady walked out of her store and almost walked us down the street to show us the mobile phone shop was, and I got asked to help push start a car in the street so we are fitting in. It seems like most of the people we talk to here as in most of the last few places we have stayed ask "why did you come here"? We keep ending up in these little towns for various reasons but they are always a great place to stay and Ennis is no exception. The bed and breakfast we are in is amazing and the people running it are incredible and very helpful with info too. We walked to the bus stop today and took the public bus to the Cliffs of Moher on west Ireland, the countryside is beautiful and the cliffs were amazing to see. I realized today my favourite thing to do when travelling is seeing different countryside and scenery as well as the types of building and architecture from area to area. The homes and buildings here are as old as anywhere we have been but the style is different and the farmland surrounded by stone fences that have been there for years is neat to see. we spent the day venturing out on the cliffs in between rain showers all day and got a good dose of fresh air mostly gusting wind. Before we got off the bus the driver made sure we were going ride it back and let us know he may be a little late but not to worry he would pick us up before 6 when park closed. Bus was due at 5:10 and at 5:40 they announced the bus would be arriving around 630, so at 6:00 we were locked out and the ranger let us know to stand on highway cause bus could not get in the gates. The bus arrived at 6:31 and the driver was very apologetic that he was stuck in traffic and wanted to make sure we got the message he was going to be late! I would like to thank Wendi and the kids they all managed to stay calm and positive while we were stuck on the side of the highway 10km from nearest town as the sun went down waiting for the bus that may show up. I tend to get a little worked up when I think we are in some kinda danger and my mind goes into protect mode, I start running scenarios in my head how I'm going to rescue them!
