Doolin was really nice and very small, which is what I liked. I hate being in the cities with alot of traffic. I love what the villages have to offer. Small towns are great, you ask people where they live and every one lives up the road or around the corner. As you can tell from my pictures the Aran Islands and the cliffs of Moher were spectacular. From there I drove 50 miles of coastline to Galway. Galway is bustling, but still a little too much city than what I was looking for. When I was there, I went to the waterfront for dinner, which was smaller, but windy and rainy. Not to different than Seattle. After I left Galway, I took the most beautiful drive up to Kylemore Abby and took lots of pictures and I posted it's history in that. The next day, I drove to Sligo. I am staying in a village called Carney and staying in a lovely Farmhouse(pics posted) This is my 2nd night here. I have had dinner the last 2 nights at the local pub called Laura's and everyone in the pub have been so helpful and friendly. I think this may be my favorite village and B&B. Today I drove up to Donegal and saw the castle in that town and did their waterbus tour , which was very interesting. I was walking by a pub and got beckoned in by a group of people, which I thought was quite funny. The waterbus tour took us by where the Irish left for America in the 1800's during the famine, when they had no potatoes and many died of starvation. Many of the Irish walked for hundreds of miles to get to these boats to come to America and many did not survive those voyages. Can you imagine what the people before us had to endure to try to survive. Tomorrow, I head North to Derry, which I believe is in Northern Ireland. I have one more week here and my goal is to reach the Giants Causeway. Someone at the Pub tonight, was telling me that Derry is a walled in city, so I am looking fprward to seeing that. Well I will post more pictures as soon as I can. This is truely been one of the highlights of my life and I can see myself living in a little village somewhere where everyone knows everyone. It is the nicest feeling to be welcomed in these viallages and people are all so helpful. It is funny though, you start talking to one person about your driving plans and everyone pops in with their opinions. Not much different than home,but you got to love these people. The Irish , are people with a genuine heart and a good spirit and a love for life. Peace out to all of you:) My wish is that everyone in their life gets to experience the adventure of traveling by yourself. It gives you a confedience that I think we all have inside of us, but sometimes it is hard to bring that out. I have found a person in me that I knew exsisted, but I think I was afraid to let her light shine. It is shinning like a beacon in the night now.:)
