My favorite place that I've been to would have to be Ireland. It was not only a trip that I took for relaxation, but it was also a trip that I took to learn about my heritage. I was lucky enough to see the entire country, and I would have to say that it was definitly one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to.

The millenium spire in Dublin. This was dubbed the biggest waste of taxpayer money in Ireland.


What good would Ireland be if you didn't enjoy a pint of Guinness in Durty Nelly's Pub?


The Cliffs Of Moher in Shannon. You wouldn't believe how high up these cliffs really are. It's always windy there, but that doesn't stop idiotic tourists from climbing to the edge of a cliff. Rumor has it that about 30 tourists a year die there because they decide to get brave and cross the "do not cross this chain" chain. It's a horrible death, because rescue choppers have a hell of a time getting down there to recover the bodies.


I forgot where exactly it is where I took this. It was taken while driving the Ring of Kerry.


What is a trip to Ireland without kissing the Blarney Stone? For those who haven't done this, you are leaning backwards and kissing the stone upside down... While dangling over about a 9 story drop.


Replica of the immigrant ships in Cork. This is what my Great Grandfather would have traveled on. These were known as death ships, as the disease and starvation overtook most of it's passengers by the time they arrived in America.
