plan. We drive slowly – compared to the Irish drivers. We go

thru Ennis to

Galway. We

stop several

times so I

can take

photos in the

rain. There
is a white

cottage with
a red door

and a

massive

caved in

thatched roof. I finish up my first roll of film (Fuji 100) after

only one shot. M hasn’t put film in her camera yet and seems

pretty tired so we got on. We pass another fallen down house

with grass growing on the top of the walls and then one that

had a blue door comes into view. It is a

thatched roofed one. M says that last

time she was here she didn’t see any

thatched roofed houses except the

renovated tourist trap ones.

M expresses the desire for a pit stop and

I see a sign for a Craft Market and whip

the car down a narrow lane. We

realized we are going the wrong way but

when I pull into a wide spot in the road

to turn about, I spy some cows and

catch a glimpse of a castle behind them.
