Castles, Cows and Cliffs


We've had beautiful weather up until now. Just when we wanted to see the Cliffs of Moher, they were socked in . . . first with rain and then with fog.


Our B&B in Doolin overlooked the bay near the Cliffs of Moher. From our upstairs window we had a view of their castle . . . and their cows. The rain didn't seem to bother them!


Doolin is known for its traditional music, but some of the best music we've heard so far was in Lisdoonvarna, just up the road. A fiddler and flute player started the session, later joined by a guitarist from Texas, and then a hand organ player. We got home late that night.


Gus O'Connor's Pub is a gathering place for those who play and listen to traditional music. This window is in their Doolin pub (from the inside looking out).
