Take a Hike

 It's all uphill from here


So I set out for my morning walk, secure in the knowledge that I am fit as a result of daily treks and am soon hoping to find not an electric car charging station but an oxygen terminal.  

Ennistimon lies at the bottom of a valley and it's all uphill from wherever the bottom is, though I suspect it is the River Cullenagh, which merges with River Derry and then changes names to River Inagh and runs to the Atlantic (a few scant miles away).  I was under the impression that only streets changed names.  In Boston.  Or Cleveland.  

Once I got myself to the apex of the hill overlooking the village, the views were wondrous.




The following photo looks out towards Lahinch and the Atlantic.  Many years ago I was part of a group of golfers touring great Irish courses and was extremely proud to have played (survived) Lahinch Golf Club while it was raining sideways.  Looks better as of this moment.

And the flowers...oh the hydrangeas.  

So much natural beauty.

    What a great start to you trip. I think you are finding what you hoped for including the blue hydrangeas. A timeless place.

    If you get turned around on a hike, look for the Motion W flag. They’ll offer a cold beer and a ride home.

    I so look forward to your posts. You are truly living a dream. Maybe you could rent a donkey and cart for those hills. You must have some equine knowledge from your uncle Russ.

  My Front Door, 2 on left. It's Sunday morning and you all have enough to read be it the hymnal or the paper, so I've put together a photographic tour of the traditional Irish storefronts here in Ennistymon.   I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy living amongst their cheery exteriors.

  For far too long I have daydreamed of immersing myself in the culture of a small Irish town.  If a pandemic teaches you anything, it's 'just do it'. August 2022 I will reside in Ennistymon, County Clare, close to the West Coast of Ireland.  Population 1,045.  Plus one Yank.  I'm guessing they won't change the sign just for me. The village has 2 supermarkets, 2 bookstores, a bakery, coffee shop, butcher, library, several art galleries, restaurants and about a dozen pubs.  Everything I could possibly need. The condo I've rented is above a podiatrist, which I figure is fortuitous given that I am not renting a car (thereby avoiding notoriety for incorrect lane abuse) and will be hoofing it throught town and to various bus and train stations.     This is the town PR photo, featuring "The Falls".  Very cool. And so my Irish adventure begins....

Just One More Adventure

  Last item on the list: The Aran Islands.  And not a moment too soon as I have but 2 days remaining.   The ferry leaves from Doolin Bay, above, and sails to your choice of 3 islands: Inis Oirr, population 150; Inis Meain, population 250:  or Inis Mor, population 750.  Give me the Big One! Inis Mor is home to about 3 pubs, 2 cafes, gift shops selling trinkets (and Christmast ornaments!!) gas station, small grocery store and 3 retailers selling what the islands are famous for: Aran Sweaters.   A couple of ferries drop off  several hundred tourists during the day into the waiting arms (and pocket books) of 20 tour mini vans,  half a dozen Trap & pony  and 2 bicycle rental shops.  Which means the 2 roads around the island are chock full of vans, carriages, bicyclists and hikers. When they made the no-bigger-than-3-golf cars-across roads, they forgot to factor in that everyone of these tourists were going to share them , not always ...
