Friends to Ireland (#1)

      The first week after I get out of school, is the first week in June. My Dad is going to be taking me and my friends Max, Caleb, and Ben all to Ireland! My mom will be in Ireland all ready, and my Dad is going to take us on 2 planes to get there! Some of my friends haven't traveled on airplanes at all so everyone is very excited! My mom was able to get my friends passports renewed so that we could all go. We are all going to be sitting next to each other on the planes and its going to be really fun!!!1

     While we are in Ireland the first week of June, we are going to take lots of pictures, and maybe make some videos also. We are going to go to lots of cool places! One cool place that we are all really excited to go is Skelligs Rock. Skelligs Rock is the island where they filmed the last scene in Star Wars The Force Awakens! That island is in Ireland, and we are going to go there!! It is going to be really fun! I will do a separate post on Skelligs Rock since there is so much to talk about!

Places to Visit #2 (St. Patrick's Cathedral) - 2/2/2016

         Today, I will specifically be talking about St. Patrick's Cathedral. St. Patrick's Cathedral is Ireland's largest church. It is open to the public and has been a historic part of Ireland for over 800 Years. St. Patrick was believed to have baptized people there and converted to Christianity. St. Patrick's day is celebrated on March 27, for the death of St. Patrick, the greatest saint of Ireland. I wanted to write this mostly to show images of how beautiful this church is, and why I want to visit it so much! Look below for Images of the church!!

Where To Go #1 (Burren National Park & Cliffs of Moher)

             This is a blog about some cool places that I might want to visit when I go to Ireland. I am going to Ireland in April. I will be in Ireland from April 1-10. I am also going with my friends, Ben, Max, and Caleb the first week of June, after my school gets out. These are some cool places that I might want to go when I am there.


1. Cliffs of Moher

      The Cliffs of Moher, are HUGE cliffs that run for 8 km along the Atlantic coast. The cliffs highest point from the water to the top of the cliff is 214 meters (or 702 feet) This place has been a tourist attraction for many years, and it has an amazing view! From the cliffs, you can see the Aran Islands off of the coast. On the cliffs, there is a tower named the O'Brien Tower. Below, is Images of the Cliffs of Moher and a view from the O'Brien Tower.

This is the first picture of the Cliffs of Moher,

This shows the length of the Cliffs of Moher! Its huge!! 200 Meters tall!!

This is where the O'Brien Tower on the Cliffs of Moher is located. It has a great view of the Atlantic Ocean!!!

2. Burren National Park

      Burren National Park is a national park in Ireland. It has wild flowers, caves, and a lot of limestone and rocky places there. The word "Burren" comes from the word "Boireann" meaning rocky place. It is mostly rocky on the ground, and does not have a lot of soil on its ground. There is some cool stone statues made. Below, are images.

This is a cool Rock-like sculpture thing.

This is a birds-eve view of the park. As you can see, it is mostly rocky ground and little soil.

This is a cool part of Burren National Park. It has a lot of broken stones on the ground.
