Inishmore
Off the west coast of Ireland lie the Aran Islands, Inisheer, Inishmaan and, the largest, Inishmore.
We spent this day on Inishmore, shopping, walking on the beach, enjoying a pint and having a generally relaxing day.  I never saw one bog.

Old monuments.

  

It was a warm day, but the water was some kinda cold!  That didn't stop the locals, however.

Journal Excerpt:  The Connemara Gateway Hotel was nice but far removed from town.  After dinner, we hired a taxi to take us to a pub.  We chatted for a while in one pub, then went to listen to some atrocious "traditional Irish" music at another.
     We left at 11:30.  We had asked our cab driver to come for us earlier but he insisted on not picking us up until then.
     "Eleven o'clock won't be enough time if you're out for a pint," he said.  "I'll be there at half eleven."
