Day Six – Puke City
... but they ate very little of it.
There was a final half hour singing show of old Irish tunes. It was a great show.
I was happy to not be as drunk as last time we were here and went to bed as soon as I got in. John was going out. I considered going for one pint, but decided it would be better to get some sleep!

Sep 2
Today we took a boat tour to the closest and smallest of the Aran Islands that are off the west coast of Ireland - Inis Oirr (Inisheer). On the Island we took a pony & trap ride around the island with Michael who pointed out some sites and answered questions. We were riding in it with a couple from Edmonton.
