Western Ireland

We did go to the races last week and bet on what we thought were some fine looking thoroughbreds.

 And although it was fun, we each lost our 2 euros.  It was an experience to watch the hoi polloi, a real mixed crowd. Most were far more experienced than we.

 

 

 

From there we had planned to head up the northeast coast, but we changed our minds and headed west: first down to the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. From there we continued north through Connemara County Claire, and now we've been in County Donegal for the last two days. Tomorrow we head up to Buncrana where we'll be for the next five weeks.

Here are some shots of where we've been:
