Tonight we are in Westport, further up the west coast of Ireland and are officially in Coutny Mayo, no longer County Connemara. We had a thankfully light day as I am still a bit weak and have spells of fever as my body is flushing out the illness. Very, very light meals have helped.
We stopped at some falls just outside Leenane where people were fly fishing in the rain, then further up at a place we had been before but the light was different, then finally at a beach in the driving rain.
By then we had had enough of the rain and came straight to Westport after stopping for a light lunch at the foot of Craigh Patrick, the holy mountain of Ireland where St. Patrick did some miracles. It is a huge pilgrimage place and thousands come to climb the mountain in all weather, like today. That's devotion!
After dropping off our bags we drove into Westport proper and explored the town and picked up some supplies. Then back and we finally have good internet in the hotel!
Which is why I'm posting all these blogs now. Enjoy!
Don't you just love Irish?
