Sunday May 12th

As expected the rain moved in during the night. We went to mass at the local church, bumping into our neighbors at the B&B. A nice chat after church made us feel a little like locals. The rain had then let up so we explored around Carrick a little. It is a very nice village with a lovely river walk and a couple of cool bridges.

And I thought this tree made a good pic. Looks like a fairy garden.

But we still had time to check out a little more of County Donegal's fabulous coast so we drove up to Silver Strand and Glencolumbkille. Sliver Strand is, I think, the best of the crescent shaped beaches found along Donegal's coast. It would have made a great sunset shot. But not this trip. Glencolumbkille is another stretch of wild rugged coastline. They have a folk village set up with different eras of Irish history. We would have stopped if we had more time.

As we drove towards our quarters in Sligo the drizzle started spitting on the windshield. All hope for a good sunset was melting away in the rain. So what is there to do on a soft drizzly night in Ireland?
