Into The Connemara

We went to Mass in Carrick Sunday morning and met up with Bridget and Harry Holden, more of the Curran Clan from Teelin. After Mass we went to their house for tea and discussed a variety of things including family, the church, politics, St. Bridget-Abbess and Bishop ( yep, a girl Bishop. Quick tell the Catholic Heirarchy), the IRA, the state of affairs in Northern Ireland, and got some ideas from them about our adventure to Dublin in a couple of days.

Departed beautiful County Donegal and drove to Clifden (An Clochan) in the Connemara. Generally the roads have improved since our last visit but the stretch from Westport to Clifden was the centuries old, narrow, curvy, roller coaster ride that was a real white knuckle experience. Needless to say Jim was driving.

Sea Bass and Lemon Sole for dinner. Window shopping. Fun.
