At the end of June 2009, Patrick Rowley and his wife Ann organized yet another "pub crawl" of the southwest coast of Ireland ending with two days in Dublin. We left Dulles at 7:30 pm and arrived in Dublin at 7:30 am which was actually 7 hours later plus the 5 hour time difference. We immediately flew to Shannon arriving at 10:30 am and boarded othe tour bus with our driver/guide Martin Raft who was called Matthew. We didn't go to our hotel but rather headed immediately for the Cliffs of Moher where our adventure began...
Our first stop along the way was the town of Lehinch in County Clare. Our first pub was called the Spinnaker where we had our first pint of Guinness. After our pint we strolled across the street and looked out on this vista. Needless to say it was just a bit rainy and overcast that morning. Lehinch it seems is a surfing town and surfers were in the water just up the rocky beach from this shot.
