There's only one pub on the whole island

That should give you an idea of how small, quaint and old-fashioned Inis Meain is.

It was fantastic. I got a ton of pics uploaded to Flickr, but am too tired right now to parse through highlights, so you're on your own to peruse the galleries:

Inis Meain - Day 1
Inis Meain - Day 2

But I will leave you with this. The playing's not perfect, and unfortunately, it cuts off just before the last phrase of the tune, but this was how I got to enjoy sunset yesterday:

Really pretty song. What is it called? Have you ever heard of the singer Hayley Westenra? I just discovered her on iTunes, and she has got about the prettiest Irish singing voice I've heard. Thought you might want to check her out. Reading your blog makes me want to go back to Ireland so badly.

Your playing on the shores reminds me of something I would do...I'd love to be able to sit on the shores of the ocean or one of the Great Lakes and play my accordion while watching the sunset. Lucky you...how I envy you where you are.
