Just a hyper-quickie as I need to get on the road back to Shannon to dump my car and catch the bus up to Galway. Trip is going grand so far. After a fantastic breakfast in Limerick with Conal and Emma yesterday, I headed out along the north edge of the Shannon estuary, all the way round loop head on the very tip of Co. Clare, then made my way up the coast through Doonbeg, Milltown Malbay, Lahinch and finally into Doolin. As Doolin was the home of the late Micho Russell, a legendary whistle player, and this weekend is the memorial festival in his honor, so a town already known for great trad music was brimming with it last night. I quietly slipped from pub to pub, taking in pints and tunes and the scent of peat in the cool, damp night air.
Will update again from Galway or possibly Shannon if I get stuck waiting for a bus.
