My fellow travelers are hounding me to move on. So I'll try later.
Well we got through the security without too much confusion. Lynda's necklace did set the alarm off. Strange that she had worn the same necklace on the way over and no problem.
I'm posting some more photos from our drive on Thursday, May 30th.
We are at Shannon Airport waiting for our flight. It has been delayed but we hope to still make our connections to DFW.
On May 29th, we spent the night in Spiddal at the Taur Beag B&B. Many of the signs in this area are in Gaelic rather than English so you have to study the map even more so before you start out anywhere.
We enjoyed a very nice breakfast that Siobhan, .the hostess, fixed. Then we headed our for a drive about the Connemara area. The route passed through several "landscapes". We had the bogs where peat or turf is harvested for fuel. There were also coastal areas with views of the different bays. Of course, we did see many sheep grazing or lazing in the stone-fence enclosed fields. We also drove through forest areas and for several kilometers we drove along the Sky Road along a mountain trail.
For lunch we had an in-the-car picnic at Kylemore Abbey. It was cold and raining so we opted not to tour the gardens at the Abbey. Since we had visited Powerscourt, Muckross, and Bantry gardens we didn't feel bad about skipping the gardens. Later we stopped at Clifden for tea and cake. I made a quick visit to the library there in order to check email. Had a message from Martha and from Bess.
