               did some hand washing at the B & Bs.  We pull into Killybegs

               and notice the fish stench isn’t quite as ripe.  We ask a local

               woman where the laundry is and she directs us.  M gets a kick

               out of a Pub named “Faulty Towers” and I shoot a photo of a

               beauty salon called Skinderalla’s which has the misfortune of

               being next to an ugly head sticking out of the wall.  M leaves

               her clothes at the laundry not feeling at all warm and fuzzy
               about her sweat suit.  She expects it to be shrunk up in spite


               her instruction to cool dry to damp.

               said wasn’t much.  We are surprised over and over all day as

               the sun dances in and out in a hide and seek game over

               beaches, towns and animals.
