We found a B&B with Wi-Fi!

You don't realize how much you miss the internet until you don't have it for a few days! Luckily, we found a great little place here in Clifden, right on the West Coast of the Emerald Isle. We woke up this morning in an ocean-view room (actually overlooking a bay I think) on Achill Island, which is off the West Coast a bit north of where we are here. We spent the morning driving the Island, which offered spectacular views of cliffs and the water below. We then continued down to Westport, an adorable town which had a few very nice wool and craft shops. From Westport we made it to Clifden in time for a great dinner set to Irish music.

As I said in my previous post, the last two days have included a lot of driving, but a lot of beautiful views as well. The Giant's Causeway was awesome -- it is the coolest rock formation; it looks like a fancy stone floor! We did a few miles of walking that day (Monday), both up a cliff at the Causeways and to get to the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. This Bridge was used by salmon fishermen to catch fish between the mainland and the little island it leads to. We finished the day at a B&B in Killybegs, a little fishing village West of Donegal.

Yesterday we first headed up to a cliff called Slieve Lieb, and then came back down through a variety of towns, stopping in shops along the way, and ending in Achill Island.

A picture may say a thousand words, but pictures won't do justice to the beautiful sites we have seen -- but I tried! Unfortunately, it would take too long to upload them with the connection I have now (not that I'm complaining!), but I will post them during the weekend at the latest. From home. Blah. ;c)
