More Ennis

St. Francis altar, Friary ruins









Old Drumcliff Cemetery











The next day, before my tour of the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren, I walked around some more. Wandered into a chocolate shop. Had a long, delightful conversation with Marcia (Marci-a, not Marsha). She was passionate about chocolate and described cocoa beans from different plantations as having their own flavors, like grapes from different vineyards. She had lived in America, San Diego, for 9 years.

Less disoriented on Tuesday, my 2nd day. Around lunchtime, teenagers in school uniforms roam the street in packs.

Bird says she feels fairly certain that her allergies would diminish greatly in such a lovely green land!! Please bring home an Irish mouse. Can you please load more damn pictures?! We are diggin' living vicariously through the computer screen to Eire! Bird misses you terribly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So do we!
