Whew, what a difference some sleep makes!! Yesterday, after Kelly arrived, the three of us found our way to Miltown Malbay, where Cory and I were staying.  We walked through the town briefly and visited the library, which, thankfully, had a bathroom (I have to learn to stop at one coffee if we’re travelling).  We continued to Enniston, where the Marrinan’s pub is (we’re meeting Michael Marinan there Mon, unclear what the relation is at this point) and had lunch.  With some food in our stomachs we were starting to fade pretty quickly.  We took Kelly to her B&B in Doolin, near the Cliffs of Moher (anytime you see an ad for Ireland on TV, these are probably what you see).  By that time, it was after 2 local time and Cory and I had been up for well over 24 hours.  Back to our B&B, the Anchor Lodge, where we took a 5 hour nap and then had an excellent dinner of local seafood (Debbie, I finally had sticky toffee pudding, its obscene!), then a nightcap in the pub next door.

This morning, Cory got up very early for his and Kelly’s fishing trip on Lough Corrib.  The weather is not optimal, but hopefully they’ll catch fish.  I had a huge breakfast with two nice gentlemen from Germany. Mary, our host, is an excellent cook and provided a choice of cereal, juice, coffee, two kinds of toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, white pudding (which I like), black pudding (which I would like if I didn’t know what it was) and tomatoes.  Then asked what I wanted more of, which was bigger pants. Anyway, as soon as my breakfast settles, I’ll brave the rain and walk into town.  Hopefully some pictures of fish this afternoon!!!
