Aran Islands
Sunday morning we woke up early and caught an hour-long bus to an hour-long ferry to reach the Aran Islands, specifically the island of Inis Mor. After checking into our hostel, we rented bicycles and trekked our way across the countryside. In all fairness, it's not much of a trek: Inis Mor has a population of 900 on an island a few miles long by a few miles wide. While not very difficult, the ride was very scenic. We saw old buildings and hundreds of freestanding stone walls, always with the vast Atlantic ocean at our side.
After some riding, we arrived at Dun Aengus, an ancient rock fortress. We posed with the rocks, 300 foot cliffs, and built a pyramid.
That evening, we hung out at the hopping pub in town, somewhat ironically called "The America Bar." The following morning, we woke up early took the ferry, bus, and another bus back to Dublin.
