We got a new, nicer van and were back on the road. Before we headed out of Galway, we watched the new Harry Potter movie. From Galway, we spent one night in Sligo and then traveled to Dunfanaghy, where we are spending two nights.
Written by Jamie:
As we entered our trip to our last hostel, we did not know what lay before us, but we found paradise! On our way to Dunfanaghy, we stopped at the cemetery where W.B. Yeats was buried – mom insisted. After that it was back on the road. After we got to our hostel and unpacked we got in to the car to go to the beach and that is when we found paradise. We got to the beach we were amazed at how beautiful it was. We collected shells, I got buried by Sam, and of course I took picturesJand then went into the water. The water looked so welcoming but it did not feel that way. Stephen had this idea that we all sprint in the ocean together everyone agreed exept Silas . So we went sprinting and then we wanted to sprint back out. The water was FREEZING!!! But we stayed in anyways but never got used to it. We body-surfed and played around and by the time we got out we could not feel our hands or feet and they only unthawed after we took a HOT shower. For dinner that night we had curry, rice, spicy burgers, and coca-cola. It is absolutely beautiful here in the most northern part of the Republic of Ireland. It reminds me of a shirt that I bought that says, "Ireland, Probably The Best Country In The World."
I hope that you enjoy the pictures!
