Louisburgh - Tralee 26 - 28 June 2007

On Tuesday June 26 Marian and I set off from Louisburgh on a road trip down the west coast of Ireland. The first day took us from Louisburgh south through Connemara, County Galway, to Galway City. Connemara is quite uninhabited and wild, with desolate bogs, rolling hills, and pretty coastline. Roundstone is an attractive village, and the Guinness there was very nice indeed.

We had dinner with Marian's brother Eion in Galway on Tuesday night. On Wednesday we drove to Limerick via The Burren and the Cliffs of Moher.

At Limerick we stayed with Louise and John, friends of Marian's. On Thursday Marian showed me her old University of Limerick haunts, then we drove from Limerick to Tralee.
