July 26-August 2

Ireland:

The past week I have been around the west coast of Ireland. The people here are very talkative and willing to help. I have been to the Cliffs of Moher, Oughterard, Galway, Dingle Peninsula, Tralee, and Cork.
I am worried that I will not have great pictures. I didn't bring my camera and picked up a disposable, not sure it can do justice to what I have seen.
I also found the city from which my Grandmother's relatives might have come, I will have to do some research.
It has rained almost everday at some point but a nice change from the hot humid weather in the rest of Europe.
I continue to meet folks from around the world including Cleveland, TN. You just never know who you will run into. The last few days I got to spend time with some girls from France who were also traveling alone, they didn't know each other beforehand. We decided to hear some traditional Irish music and within a few minutes an Italian couple, a guy from NY, and a mother/daughter from London had joined us. It was entertaining to listen to everyone's story.
My last day in Tralee the hostel owner's family introduced me to Irish football, a mix between soccer, football, and rugby.
