Today we started our trek up the west coast of Ireland. For those that don't know (like me before I got here) the west coast is composed of a series of peninsulas (or maybe old fjords), but any way pieces of land that jut out like fingers into the North Atlantic. These happen to be some of the scenic highlights of Ireland and today we proceeded North from our "most South Westerly" spot to the first of these "fingers" called the Sheep's Head Peninsula

Unfortunately the day was wet and windy and hence a poor day for photographs, though as you can see from the few that survived the cut we captured a little of the windswept rugged look of the place.

We did not see any goats on the days travels but did find ourselves traveling on a Goat Path (see the sign in photo number 8). This turned out to be the name of a road and was the major return route from the tip of the Peninsula.

We spent the night (and the next few) at Caseys Hotel in Glengarriff.
