Started the day with a drive through a portion of the Burren, a rocky landscape that is unique. We stopped at Poulnabrone Dolmen, the oldest Megolithic monument in Ireland, for a quick picture.
Next was a quick stop for a picture of Dunguaire Castle. Ireland has more castles that all of England, Scotland and Wales.
Once we were in Galway, we stopped McDonagh’s for a fish and chips lunch. Bill again went off the diet for some of Ireland’s best fish and chips. After lunch, we had a walking tour through the old city. Galway is an old medevil city that still follows the 1600 street layout in the old city.
There was an opportunity for a little shopping before we returned to Ennis for dinner, where we were serenaded by a small traditional group that had a fiddle, concertina and harp. Afterwards, we went to the Diamond Pub, where be had a drink and Bill had a chance to play again with Blackie O’Connell. As we were having an early start the next day, we left the pub “early.”
