Hiking the Cliffs of Moher

I was pretty anxious about today. Today was the day that we did the hike along the Cliffs of Moher. First of all, I’m fairly scared of heights. Going to the top of tall buildings is not something I look forward to. Being on very tall things with a lot of wind makes me just more …
