17/05: Drive to Clifden

And tonight's beer is Bridewell and Ocean Thieves Cider.
We spent most of the day driving, following the Wild Atlantic Way. A few drops of rain, some cloud but mostly a lot of sun today.
We stopped in Galway for an hour to see the Spanish Arch. Lots of tourist shops and restaurants in the area.
This restored cottage is a national historic site. It was built and used by Patrick Pearse as a summer home and Irish language school for his pupils. Patrick Patrick Pearse was one of the leaders of the 1916 Rising and was executed by the British. The 1916 Rising was the start of Ireland's fight for independence. The people at the heritage site were very informative and the cottage was in an amazing spot.
Views along the Wild Atlantic Way, which follows the western coast of the Rupublic of Irelnd.
Roundstone is a cute harbour town.
My guide book indicates Clifden's population to be about 2100. Clifden has a good size and colourful downtwon for a small town.
