The Aran Island of Inishmore

On Friday we took the ferry over to the island of Inishmore . We spent the afternoon with Thomas Faherty on his pony trap, exploring the central and western end of the island. It was a lovely way to experience the rural beauty of the island.

A stop along the rugged coastline.
We love to ride bikes to explore an area, but on this day when we experienced hail, wind, sunshine, and storm squalls off the sea, we were thankful to be in the protection of the pony trap.
MJ did a wonderful job trotting us through the pastoral landscape.
We hiked up to Dún Aonghasa. The coastline was spectacular!
The day would not have been complete without traditional fish and chips!

We enjoyed dinner at Keogh’s Pub.

A footnote: It was a windy day and the seas were rolling. As Ed said, “they were handing out puke bags like candy on the ferry” . Seriously, be prepared with whatever it takes to avoid getting sea sick.

We still enjoy planning our own travel (most of the time😉). Using “Third Home”, a home exchange program, has added a new dimension to our travel planning. As Andy Dufresne says “Either get busy living, or get busy dying”
