To the Cliffs!
This morning we drove from Glenties to Killybegs, on the coast, then north to the cliffs at Slieve League, the highest cliffs in Europe. These were taken on the walk to the cliffs.

From there we tried to go to a nearby beach, Maghera, that is meant to be lovely--more than a mile long. However we didn’t have any euro left and the car park cost 4 euro. There’s always next time.
