Days Five and Six of Ireland

Five:  Off to Connemara where marble is mined---harvested---quarried? Anyway, I bought a black marble necklace with fossils in it here.

Cliffs of Moher (700 ft.) in the background. Looks a bit like Big Sur in California, only tour busses and people from everywhere everywhere. Definitely one of Irelands biggest tourist draws.

An evening of Guinness and a band at Kate Kearney's Cottage in Dunloe Gap. Dandy food, song and dance! (Bought an Irish penny whistle and a stuffed sheep here.)

Day Six: Whew! We're tearin' through Ireland like magical winged faeries.

 Who can do without a ferry ride across the Shannon River? And, with bikers in spandex? Whoopee! One of them is a famous biker named Sean Kelly---not sure which one he is.

Rounded the Dingle Penninsula and went to Slea Head to see the Christian monastic beehive huts. Pretty cool. No hole in the top for the smoke to go out though.

Scrumptious views of the ocean here. Better than Cliffs of Moher, and less crowded. "Ryan's Daughter" and "Far and Away" filmed here. I envy the people who live here and wake up to this view.

Hot dog with onions in Dingle, anyone?
