Adventures on Inis Mór

This is what I did on Inis Mór:

I saw an open gate with the words "No Camping" on the sign. Did it say "No Trespassing"? Nope! So I walked through to this ruined cathedral.

                            

Later on as I was walking, a large group of French students flew past me on their bicycles. I was standing on the side of the road waiting for them to pass, when I saw another open gate with a grassy path leading to... who knows? The lines from Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken" entered my mind: 

Two roads diverged in a yellow road,

And sorry I could not travel both....

I took the road less traveled by, 

And that has made all the difference.

I took the road less traveled by.

I'm so glad I walked on this path, because I found some beautiful things to take pictures of!

Just as I was about to take a picture of this...

I got mooed at by these cows! 

I walked down a long road and discovered it was someone's driveway.

This cute dog ran down the driveway and wouldn't leave me alone! 

I walked up another foreign path...

And found this strange landscape! One minute it's all healthy grass and trees, and the next it's cracked rocks and overgrown weeds.

I walked down to the beach. There was literally NO ONE AROUND, and that's when I remembered that shop owners go to lunch around 1. Even restaurant owners go to lunch!

I was a little creeped out because I was the only one walking around! But I took a few pictures before it started to rain and headed to the American Bar for lunch. 

I treated myself to my first Irish coffee!
