Tuesday
A beautiful sunny day, we jumped in the van, driven by Tony, and drove to the Connemara area. Our first stop was at a grocery store to buy drinks, Linda our tour guide told us that little bottles of wine are called "babies", so some of us bought a baby! Then we drove off....this area was mountainous and rocky, full of sheep, water and natural wonders. First stop, the "Quiet Man Bridge", shown in the photo. This is where they did some of the filming for the movie starring John Wayne. Then we drove through a valley with sheep lining the hills..took one million sheep photos. They were sooo cute. We stop to have our drinks and "babies", ...word of advice, don't drink wine here, stick with beer or whiskey! Then we went to a village and had lunch in the pub, drove to Cashel manor house for a tour. While there we viewed fabulous flowers...back in the van to see the ocean...amazing...then back to Galway. We arrived at hotel at 7pm, went out at 8pm to get a bite to eat. Galway has a great downtown walking area with restaurants, visited a memorial to JFK on way back to hotel. Now off to bed
