HE SAID:
Unbelievably, today was one of the highlights of the trip. Why, you ask? Because I was able to jump on a bog. For those of you of whom have never jumped on a bog and don't know what it is, let me explain. A bog is a mossy area that grew over water. It's hard enough to walk on, but not good for much else. When someone ten feet away jumps up and down on a bog, you can feel the ground vibrate. Very strange stuff here. We stayed at the Westport Plaza Hotel; www.westportplazahotel.ie. I really like this town. It's really small, charming, has beautiful bridges over water, everything is in walking distance, and it has lots of character. We were really hoping to get a coffee at 5PM tonight, but like Irvine, things shut down early.
