After a wonderful 6 days with Wild Atlantic Music Tours, thanks to Robert and Eddie, we picked up our rental at Shannon Airport and headed north towards Westport. Our original plan was to make one or two stops, but we got a later than planned start and we were tired from all the sightseeing and music. We drove around Galway and then headed into Connemara where the views were amazing. The views of Lough Inagh were great. Also, the road went thru open sheep range so we had to be on the lookout for stray sheep. The road went by Killary Harbour, which is Ireland’s only true fjord and we stopped for a photo opp.
We checked into our B&B and wandered around Westport. We stopped in a cheese shop and had a plate of Irish cheeses and dried meats. We also had a lovely French white wine. A little later we went to Matt Malloy’s Pub for the evening session. Bill decided to forgo playing and we sat and listened. The music was grand, but the crowd was noisy. We left after about 40 minutes and walked back to the B&B. The sun was just setting and we took one last picture of Linda on a bridge over the Carrowbeg River.
