Away from Galway

Hey All,

We ended up going up the Cliffs as expected to be met with a lot of fog, so we ended up going back to Galway for one more night and crashing with our friends there. The next morning we said good bye to Galway and headed back to the Cliffs for one more shot at seeing them. When we got there, there wasnt even 100 yards of visibility, but after waiting it out, the sky ended up clearing up really nicely and provided a great hike for us. After spending some time walking to an old castle thing and back (about 5 miles), we came back to the car, and headed south to a tiny town called Annascaul. Annascaul is the home of a man named Tom Crean, who was an anartcic explorer on several expeditions, including the Endurance with Sir Ernest Shackleton. When his exploration days were over, he came home and opened a pub called the South Pole in, so we went and checked it all out. Afterwards we ended up taking this random road which took us to Lake Annascaul which is a beautiful lake tucked in this massive valley. There we parked and slept in the car again, and had a pretty incredible view when we woke the next morning. Today we took a tour around the Dingle penninsula and will either drive back to Dublin tonight or tomorrow morning. At any rate, all is well and I hope it is there too. Love, Blake
