Today we had a field trip to the Cliffs of Moher and some nearby caves. Unfortunately they were both a bit disappointing. The caves were rather small and unimpressive [perhaps we are just spoiled by the caves back home] and when we were at the cliffs it was impenetrably foggy. At times, you could not even see the water over the cliff.This is an example of the view:
On the plus side, the arts festival has started in town, and the sidewalks are lined with musicians, fire dancers, and magicians. Additionally, there are quite a few shows and parades going on. Last night we happened to be downtown at the time of the 'insects and dinosaurs' parade, which last night consisted of three people on stilts with very bizarre sci-fi dinosaur costumes:
Well, it is fairly late here and I ought to get some rest. The market in town tomorrow should be more exciting than usual with all these visiting musicians and artists.

so where did the insect part come in?
I am not sure. I believe they have a different performance every night. I am also not sure where all the sci-fi came from.
That's really unfortunate that you couldn't see the views from the Cliffs. They were quite impressive to look on. And just like the Aran Islands, you could walk right up to the edge and dangle your legs over.
I'm sure you saw postcards and whatnot with a clear view though. Extrapolate that.
