September 3 - Day 38 Portrush to Donegal

We left Portrush that morning not entirely certain as to where we were going, only that we were headed west. We focused in on a town called Letterkenney, but only stopped there to visit the tourist information center so that we could find a place to stay for the night. From there we headed north to visit the Glenveagh National Park in the northwest county of Donegal...

Walkway to the visitor's center...

There's a castle out there somewhere that we were going to walk to, but the walkway was under construction so we took a shorter but scenic nature walk on the edge of Lough Veagh...

There's the castle...way in the distance...it would have been a very long walk!

The arched roof of the walkway to (and from) the visitor's center...

From there we drove south into the town of Donegal which we drove through without stopping (except to ask for directions to our B&B!) - the town was madness! So many people, so little room in the streets. Thankfully, our B&B was a couple of miles beyond the madness and up a steep driveway that led to a lovely house with a beautiful view...

Clearly, I did not take this picture, but here is the Ardlenagh View Bed & Breakfast!

Our view wasn't quite like this because even though it rained like crazy the next day, we were there in the summer and the bay was dry...well, not dry...muddy, but not as full as this...should've taken a picture!
