In Omnia Paratus ! (translated: ready for anything!)

Driving in Ireland is exciting for us Yanks! Thank goodness our car/s (we had two) were not big ole USA-types. The adventure drive through the beautiful Connomarra region was one that will stay in all our memories. Beautiful rolling hills, pastures that went STRAIGHT up the hillsides, climbing up into the clouds. The rock walls seemingly defying gravity and sheep doing the same. We all marvelled, stopping at any open spaces along the route.

AND as we came out of one of the winding u-curve turns there they were, the sheep herd. Making their way towards us taking up both sides of the roadway and growing by hundreds as they went from one pasture to the next which was more than a mile away. The front of our car became nose to nose with them, and softly, minus any attempt at haste, they parted to allow our autos to become deeper and deeper into their herd. Sheep everywhere.

We had reached the most perfect Irish adventure! from this point forward, we were, In Omnia Paratus!

Westport and Clifdon
