<\/div>\n
WELL, here we are back in Ireland once  again because I promised Aidan Coffey I would send all pics I could find. Some of these<\/div>\n
were taken around 1980 when Marjorie and I took our boys, Kevin and Andrew, on a tour of the mines of the Copper Coast<\/div>\n
before it became a tourists attraction.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Marjorie did not like the idea of scaling the cliffs and crawling through an ancient adit.  The boys loved the idea \u2026 exciting and frightening.<\/div>\n
Their eyes say much.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
GRADUALLY the adit got larger and larger until we cold stand up\u2026see Andrew above.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Copper stain oN the wall.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
One of the shafts  still held in place by a piece of lumber it seems.  Not far below was water<\/div>\n
that has filled most of he mine thereby preserving it for all time.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Then we visited the Cliffs of Moher.   See the boys top left.  <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The cliffs are not fenced.  As a result people take risks as Kevin and Andrew are doing here.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The haunting music of he Cliffs of Moher on violin and tin flute.  <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Not too sure what this fellow thought of us.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Always \u2026 it is easy to be welcomed in an Irish pub.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
