Our luggage piled up outside the tour bus once again as we loaded it up for a day of travel. As we enjoyed breakfast we imagined what this stunning natural phenomenon so many of us had only seen on Google images would be like. Before we knew it, Galway was simply a small dot in our rear-view mirror and the cliffs was calling!
If you have ever felt so thrilled by something that you wanted to tell everyone about it but yet simply desired to silently revel in the moment, you may have a clue of what it felt like to see these cliffs. Like magnificent sentinels, the cliffs rose out of the ocean shrouded in mist and fog and unwavering in their duty. Both peaceful silence and a vibrant sense of life simultaneously defined the atmosphere of the place and created a swelling of emotion in all of us present. Pictures can’t do it justice and words feel like a waste when trying to describe what we experienced.
Ultimately, the days travels were meant to bring us to the city of Killarney, and after much more driving and a ride on a ferry across the river Shannon, we arrived on the outskirts of Killarney and immediately went to an outlook at a local seminary to get a view of the Killarney valley. What we found was a stunning vista. The sun was breaking through the clouds casting golden strokes across the hills and lighting up the rooftops of the town.
Prayer Request: Pray for continued unity within the chorale family as we travel, eat, live and sing together.
Thanks for the gift of your words that we might travel along with you! Means a lot. We're praying as you've requested.
