Brothers in Ireland
Day 6 - The Aran Islands
Thursday, September 13th
Aran
Islands. 40 minute ferry
ride to Inish More Island. Rode in very small horse coach to Dun Aoghasa
fortification on cliffs. John, and old former-fisherman with very long nose hair
was the driver. The islands are beautiful and very rugged. It was very green,
but there were few trees. Rock walls are everywhere as the rocks are a plentiful
building material. We joked that the fields are actually rock farms where
the rocks are grown. We found a gravel pit that we thought must be rock seeds
waiting to be planted. Returned on ferry. Dinner at pub in Spiddal. Stayed with
Bert and Rida again.
