Thursday May 17 – Ballinasloe to Donegal - Today Christy, Noel, and I drove up to Donegal . It was quite a long drive and we went through some really beautiful countryside on the way.

We stopped at Dunnes Department store in Roscommon for me to buy some T shirts as I was on my last clean one and had not had time to wash any. Dunnes is kind of the SuperWalmart of Ireland and has a grocery store as well as department store. A good place for one stop shopping.

The day was very nice although cool and we checked out a few things on the way, among them the Glencar Lough and waterfall.

We spent the night at one of my cousins daughters beautiful house in Donegal.
