Tonight we feasted at the table of Knappogue Castle in the county of Clare, had a bit of good "Irish craic," and began the evening with a lash of Irish Meade. The castle was built in 1497 and once occupied by the infamous Oliver Cromwell and is complete with walled gardens. We had great fun of food and drink (not so much drink) and was treated to song and dance (them, not us), harp and fiddle play, and a bit of Irish Dance action (sort of like Lord of the Dance style). Earlier in the day we visited the Cliffs of Moher which were crazy high at around 700 feet to the waters surface. All in all, another great day in Ireland.
