Before I get into the latest blog entry, I'm pleasantly surprised to tell you that we got the photo of Stopher herding an unruly sheep on the farm. Please enjoy and know that the sheep is quite well, aside from a total lack of dignity for being wheeled to pasture. If there is such a thing as karma, I fear Stopher&#8217;s will be wooly.<br><br>Getting back to the travels, we are going with a bike theme for this entry. Why? Well we ...

Today we headed to the coast of Galway- about an hour- to catch a ferry to the Aran Islands. We got on the ferry and oh what luck we are having with water! Passing over Galway Bay to the Islands was quite choppy. The boat was going pretty good over the waves. We kept coming down with a crash on the water.
