The rolling green hills

First real day in Ireland, as slept in Dublin for 17 hours after disembarking. Hired a car this morning and took off westwards. The roads! A "motorway" quickly turned into a single lane (in each direction) with stone fences lining them. THe 200km took more than 6 hours to navigate due to the shocking traffic through each town. Once we arrived in town we found our B&B (actually a pub), McCarthys. Nice set up, basic but clean rooms. Wandered down to the quay to take and took photos. Went to Matt Molloys for dinner and found some traditional music in the back room. The Cheiftans member owns the pub and his mates often pop by. A singer by the name of Mick Levelle stopped by at our table. (Just pulled up a chair) and proceeded to sing about 20 songs. A mixture of ballads and comedic songs. He was great.
