Just kidding everyone ... the matchmaking festival doesn't take place in this quiet little town until September! ;-) But really, there is a matchmaking festival here - sort of like the 1997 movie The Matchmaker - I recommend it for a good laugh and a good view of the areas I have been and will be visiting. Sorry it has been a few days since an update, but there wasn't the best internet access in Cong. So I have come from Cong to the largest of the Aran Islands and now I will call Lisdoonvarna home for the next 2-3 nights (still deciding whether I will spend Friday night here or back in Galway). I will complete a few bike loops over the next few days in this area covering the Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, and a bike ride along the coast. Ireland is still treating me well and I am adding new names to my list of friends made in Ireland everyday. The big news for today would be that Jean likes Irish Salmon!!! Liam - the owner of the cycling company and Christina (I think his partner?) were transferring me and my bike from the Aran Islands to Lisdoonvarna and they thought we should stop for dinner. They stopped at a seafood restauraunt and I decided not to say anything about my unwillingness to give fish a fighting chance in the past. I ordered baked salmon and it was absolutely amazing!!!
Well I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow so I will call it a night. Take care and see you all soon!!
Oh yes - and I have been following my Penguins from a far and they seem to be doing great :-)
Signing off from Lisdoonvarna!
