Seals,more castles, and cliffs

Before today, we hadn't seen any unusual animals on this trip. Yes, Until Today. After taking a short boat ride to Inis Mor, Part of Aran chain of Islands off the coast of Ireland, we rented bikes and rode around the Island. One of the places we stopped was a seal colony. Seals!! I thought they were awesome. everywhere you looked you could see heads poking up out of the water; most of them were pretty far off, but It was really cool. Some, Instead of swimming with their heads out of the water, sunbathed and splashed around on the sandbars. Another cool place on Inis Mor was Dun Angasa. It is a large castle that is very old, and even has started to collapse over the huge cliffs below. The castle isn't really the main attraction, though; it's the cliffs that go at a 90 degree angle into the foaming sea below. We took a lot of pictures, so expect them on faceook when we get back (I can't plug my mom's or my own camera into my dad's laptop).
