Arriving in Ireland

Got out to Ireland safe and sound, in preparation to teach a Vista class next week.  It's so beautiful out here.  I'm in Doolin, which is a lovely little town by the sea.  Been awhile since I bored everyone with a travellogue, so I thought I would share a few photos of the scenery:

 
View of the ocean from the hostel where I'm staying


Lots of cows out here!


Here's the hostel.


This is the bus driver who took me from Ennis to Doolin.  He really got a kick out of my electric scooter!


Here's the only garage in town, where I aired up the scooter tires.  (Didn't want to fly with them inflated since they could pop depending on how the baggage compartment is pressurized.)


A group of 20 children went to a field to play stick-ball


More Irish children, happy to go and play


Lots of old buildings around, like this


Many only have one or two walls left. This is hundreds of years old.

Loving the scenery.  Time now for me to go grab a bite to eat.
