Visiting Donegal

Today we ventured to Donegal, a town on the west coast of Ireland.  Close to the town square we found the famous "Donegal Castle," orginally buit by the O'Donnell clan.  It is a rocky fortress at the mouth of the Eske river.

We continued up the highway towards Sliabh Liag, the highest seaside cliffs in Europe.  Finally, we reached a windy road that led us to the cliffs.  At the top of the cliffs, there was a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean.  The cliffs were a shade of dark red, really pretty.
