"I've never been here before."
We went to Inishmore and took a bus tour around the island. Our tour guide was a character. The entire time it was raining, although all of the locals called it drizzling and really nice weather. All I can say is that I am glad that we were properly dressed.
You need a hat, a good rain jacket and waterproof shoes when you go visit Ireland.
The two stops were the Seven Churches, which isn't really seven churches. It is the ruins of a single that had seven priests. The most interesting stop was Dun Aeghan, which is a hike up a very slippery hillside to some type of neolithic forification. No one really knows who built it or why. It was definitely worth the wet.
We spent our last evening in Galway at Lunares, a Spanish Tapas restaurant with Susan, a Salem State alum who was part of our group.
"I like tapas!"
Wonderful food and company. We ended up back at the hotel much later than intended. Tomorrow we head to Derry.
