[2013] Doolin + Cliffs of Moher, Ireland

This little Irish town stole our hearts. With the Cliffs of Moher just a few minutes away, it set the scene as we stopped into the tiny bars filled with folk music and locals. The one thing that I found difficult about the music was that the musicians were playing music around a table, and although they were performing, they weren't really performing. It felt that I was intruding on an intimate music session between friends. I'm not sure whether this was a positive or negative, but regardless it made me unsure about it all.

We played a round of golf on a par-3 course and enjoyed the wonderful sunshine and scenery. It all seems really relaxing, but in fact I spent a lot of my time hacking the ball in some very deep, thick grassy. I think by the 4th hole I gave up and starting just dropping my ball onto the green. ;) I'm glad we were persistent about playing. When we got to the office it was locked up and we had to call a number and then the owner drove down to give us some irons and balls. Therefore the best thing about it was that we were the only ones on the course. I guess others weren't ready to be golfing in early April in 5 degree weather.
