Trip to County Clare

During the weekend of July 22, we had to be out of the house where we were living in Kilflynn, because it had been previously promised to someone. We at first thought this was a great inconvenience, but it turned out to be a great blessing! We decided to go north, to County Clare, and we had a great trip. We left Listowel after therapy on the Saturday and drove to Tarbert to take the car ferry across the Shannon to Clare (1st picture). We then drove up the coast and we think got the last B&B room available in the area near the Cliffs of Moher - and was it gorgeous (2nd picture). We loved it (and there were 2 resident Irish setters, a bonus for us!). We toured the Cliffs of Moher, which are gorgeous and amazing. However, our real favorite was Doolin, north of the Cliffs, looking back at them - the really large rocks on the coast pictured below. Dana walked a little on the Burren Way (we had trouble finding it and I was too tired by then, so sat in a pub :)! We had a nice pub also near our B&B where we spent that evening (trad music group below). Then, on Monday morning we drove to Ennis, a quaint and pretty little town, and had tea with Ciara Keane, my recruiter - then back to Killarney where we spent the night with friends and returned to our own home on Tuesday after therapy. A great weekend!

These are all Doolin, one of our very favorite spots so far!



SS Presbyterians - this is the moment I
told you about - it was 11:00 your time and The Burren Way
I was dangling my feet in the Atlantic and
thinking of you!
