We got signed in for a day tour out to the cliffs which included a walking tour along the way. The walking tour was great, as the guide took us through his family&#8217;s farm land and told us some of the history of Ireland. For instance, during the potato famine, people were put to work building stone walls just for the sake of a job. There was no purpose for the walls, but the government paid the people about a penny a day for their work. We also saw many of the 650 types of flowers that grow in the area&#8230; and cows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/06\/bill-walking-tour.jpg\" alt=\"bill walking tour\" height=\"235\" width=\"313\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our guide, John, spoke of how natural it is for people to make use of the resources they&#8217;re given.

He drove the bus down the quite narrow roads, told us all about the scenery \/ history, and got us safely to our destinations.
