It was close to 3 p.m. when I left Galway and headed for Clifden. I passed through the pleasant tourist village of Oughterard on the shore of a large Lough Corrib, where one can take boat tours. |
 "soft margins and loose clippings" Next came Maam Cross, entrance to enchanting Connemara |
Here I headed north along the Maumturk Mountains (left)in Joyce's Country to reach Leenane (close to Killary Harbour, Ireland's only fjord ) at 16:20 missing most of C'mara so as not to add a 13th Ben. |

 took a nice evening stroll to nearby Loch Moher BLO fecit 20040824 | I had a tooth- and headache, so at 5 p.m. I was happy to stop at a B&B named "Moher House" in Liscarney (left). After some searching I found Shiabhon, 4th yr veterinary student at Dublin, engrossed in a book in the sun in the backyard. Her mother was off to a funeral, so it was she who fixed me a nice soup and cocktail and Irish coffee later that evening. |
