Saturday, April 25 Good morning!

I think we're slowing down. Neither of us wanted to get up for breakfast. Joan said I just have to let her know when I'd like porrich :) This morning I enjoyed fresh Greek yogurt and homemade scone w/ fruit & cheese. Michael ate my bleu cheese. Tomorrow prolly smoked salmon & scrambled :)

Last night was awesome. Taking taxi - brilliant! Lamb stew @
Linnanne's pub along w/ assorted adult beverages. Cool shamrock imprinted on the Guinness head. Mike did get a picture. Many many French tourists everywhere we've been.

Music started w/ 2 brothers. ~11 yr old played mandolin (since age 3). Younger brother (~8) bohdran. Then 'Lumiere' two Irish ladies w/ guitar accompanist. At least half selections in Irish. Beautiful soft language we don't understand at all. They gave a synopsis of story for each one. Community hall is just like it sounds - small gathering space. Most attendees Irish;  a few of us tourists - definitely in the minority. Pubs after concert too crowded to get in. We managed to get in door for Mike's last Guinness of the day. Soft rain on and off all day, w/ some 'sunny spells.' Soft rain again this am. Plan is to walk to town centre and tourist :) Taxi to Kilfenora again tonight. Taxi driver lovely man. Picked us up @ 11pm. Said his day wouldn't end until about 4 am. I felt badly having him come back for us. He was very appreciative we were before the closing rush. Said Linannes would shut doors @ 1 but still be lively until about 5. Egads!

Later!
