...are outdoors. Yes, definitely. Looking out on the Atlantic Pond, the cliffs are continually pounded by waves. There is a rocky beach at the bottom that we did not get to go on (not sure how to scale the giant cliffs, Customs confiscated my grappling hook). The cliff walls are about 600 feet high. On the point of one cliff is a small tower. It cost €1.50 for admission, and so I was the only one to go up. The view was even better for being 3 stories up, and after I climbed on the "do not climb" rock slab at the top I got a few good picture.

After I climbed back down the tower Kristen, Mom, and I hopped over the stone fence and went down to where we could get a better view.

Mom and I walked up the road a good ways to get some pictures at the top of a hill. She stayed at the bottom and I hiked to the top. We walked back in the wonderfully wet Irish rain.

Historical Note
The cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most ambitious building projects. Commissioned in the 1920s as part of the Queen's Work Progress Act they took over 5 years to complete. Made entirely out of Cadbury chocolate and some super glue, they stand as a tribute to the hardiness of the Irish.
