September 4 - Day 39 Donegal to Westport

During breakfast this morning it was pouring with rain, but we had a lovely breakfast with a couple from New Jersey (one of the things I noticed about Ireland was that there were a ton of American tourists)! We stopped in Sligo - the boyhood home of William Butler Yeats - but once again we only stopped long enough to find a place to stay at our next stop, which was to be a town called Westport. We didn't know anything about the town, but that Constance thought it might be a nice place.

And it was!

Even the police station was nice...but we only saw it from the outside...

We did a little walking and browsing in the many shops before stopping to eat lunch...

...and to find our next B&B...

...the Aillmore B&B!

After settling in we went for a walk...this is heading back to the B&B up yet another steep hill...

Neighborhood dogs...they look harmless enough, but they were viscious! They barked well into the night and nearly attacked me when I came back from a run the next morning! Grrrrr....
