On Friday we drove into the city and enjoyed a lively walking tour of historic Galway with our red-coated guide. He was great as usual and we saw a lot of the city.
On Saturday we drove further west to a rather large manor home and spent time in the gardens and castle.
Easter Sunday. We departed our luxury cottage in Gort and headed north to the town of Atheny. There we visited a really great tower home that had been restored and wandered the walled city.
We then headed northwest further into County Clare to another castle. This one also had been restored and much of its defensive walls and towers were also intact. Touring the site ended with another great car picnic before heading further west and into the blanket bogs of western County Clare.
We took a side trip to visit the Pierce Cottage and happened upon a local Gaelic Easter gathering and potluch at the visitor center. There was food and music and lots of joy. We wander the exhibits and grounds before continuing our drive to the northern coast line and then along the Wild Atlantic Way again before cutting inland to our overnight in Castlebar and a lovely cottage once
