The day we visited the Cliffs of Moher the cold, schizophrenic weather changed frequently: sun, rain and hail. The gale force winds knocked people to the ground, and many had to grab onto the wall to keep from falling. Despite the weather, I made it to the top. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences in my life.

The photos do not do justice to these majestic and at times dangerous cliffs, some as high as 668 feet above the Atlantic.
