... so we went into town. We parked near St. Mary’s Church, so we went inside. It’s a lovely church that dates back to 1860, and it’s had several refurbishments. There was a large building beside it with a sign for the Diseart Stained Glass exhibit, so I went through it while John sat and read. The building was a former convent for the Presentation Sisters, and the stained glass was in their chapel. It was amazingly beautiful. Another room ...

... Then one can drive for miles without anymore direction. To add to the confusion, we’re in the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area) where most of the road signs are in Gaelic. It all just adds to the adventure.

After sitting outside at enjoying our pints and a plate of chips in the sunshine, we headed off to the island ...

... t get that. Back at the Small Bridge Bar we had shots of Paddy and more pints of Guinness. If it's true the stuff is good for you, we're going to come home as one strong and healthy couple! A couple of guys pitching their new CD played some trad, we got stuck in a conversation about politics with an American with the same views as us. Ugh.

Imagine her sitting in the corner alone, thinking and looking at her empty house which her grandchildren should be playing and she knows that she will never see her dear ones again..."
