Note to self: do NOT begin history lesson of Ireland, including discussion of Molly Maguires, Sinn Fein, IRA, et al at dinner with eavesdroppers amongst the natives. I will be locking our door tonight...apparently it does lock; something I was unaware of and have not done to now.
We saw a golden eagle today - they were extinctified from Ireland, and have only recently been introduced from 1 eaglelet of Scottish nests that contained 2 or more.
Tory Island: its said that Ireland was once inhabited by giants, and Tory Island is where one of them lay down to sleep. He is still asleep there, and you actually can take a ferry there. The difficulty arrives in the getting back. Its a treacherous stretch of water - the worst around these parts. Getting there may work out for you - but don't plan on getting back at a specific time (or day!)
I think that may be it for my post-prandial rantings and ravings....for now.
