Ireland 2009
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...

He also warned us to avoid the topics of religion and politics. We spent the evening over a few pints of Guiness in conversation with two Englishmen who had a distinct hate for the French and only wanted to discuss religion and politics.
