today we went to see the Cliffs of Moher and took a ferry out to the Aran islands. We spent the afternoon on Inish Mor and it was amazing. The island is so rocky I don’t know how people managed to farm at all. There are stone fences everywhere and the ground is so rocky. They had to bring sea weed up to the pastures and fields to feed the sheep and add to the soil. The main industry now is tourists. The young people go away to school and university to learn a profession as there is nothing for them on the islands. We took a jaunting car around to see the island but didn’t see everything as I was unable to walk the distances so I went shopping ........ again.
Tonight we are in a hotel in Galway and tomorrow we go to Dublin.

I can’t keep up
we have been so busy and when we get back to the B&B I am too tired to blog so I am going to try and catch you up on our activities but maybe not right now. Cory is doing the laundry and then we are off to Killarney where we will visit some sites, shop and eat in a pub that has music tonight.
