Another Long Day

After leaving Westport we drove  to Ballintubber Abbey.  It is partially restored and is still being worked on.  It has extensive grounds and a walk that follows the stations of the cross.  We had to wait for Mass to end before we could go inside.

Next stop was Galway where we did a walking tour and had lunch.

Excavating in the Middle of the City

We next visited the Cliffs of Moher.  There was a fancy new visitors center there along with a large gift shop.

After checking into the Bunratty Castle Hotel we just had time to get ready to go to the Bunratty Castle for a medieval-style banquet.  We were entertained with stories and songs by the lords and ladies of the castle as we ate with our fingers.
