Hello there,

 Today I am in great spirits I am sitting in my hotel room at the Connemara Cost Hotel, looking from the window in front of me straight across Galway Bay. This is August bank holiday weekend here in Ireland.

 Just before breakfast I spent half an hour sitting in the Canadian hot tub overlooking the bay. The air outside the tub was a bit cold but ha who cares. The sea & the countryside around are breath tacking.

 The drive down was excellent yesterday. It’s the first time I have had the opportunity to drive to the West of Ireland since coming here to live. I have to say the roads over to here from Dublin are far better than I expected. I feel the place is magical.

 So for now I way sight seeing. It is so nice to be away for a few days.
