8:30am - Time to wake up and get going
9:30am - Pick up rental car
10:00am - Pick up Lisa from hotel
10:30am - Galway Cathedral parking lot
11:00am - Cathedral open for mass only, no tourists. So, we attend mass.
11:20am - Mass is over (Irish accent and mass is over in 20 minutes? Priest must be related to Father White). Time to take pictures.
12:15 - Leave Galway Cathedral, and find the main road out of Galway
12:25 - Got lost in a roundabout. Missed the exit, so went around again, exited too early, find our way back to the roundabout and try again.
12:37 - Finally out of the city, and on the open road.
13:00 - This twisty, narrow, hilly, 100kph road is apparently called the "Wild" Atlantic Way. They should rename it The Irish Rollercoaster
13:20 - Dunguaire Castle on Galway Bay
14:15 - Came across a small church. Stopped to check it out.
14:30 - Drove up switchbacks gaining 500 ft in elevation. Beautiful view of Galway Bay from here.
14:57 - Oh, look, a horse
15:00 - This is a two way road? It's getting VERY narrow
17:55 - Dinner time at Fitz's Bar
19:30 - Local live music at Fitz's Bar
21:30 - More local live music at Fitz's Bar

If you upload a video to blogger using the photo upload tool, it only posts a frame from the video. You need to use the clapboard icon to upload videos.
Thanks.
Edited. Should be better now.
I am enjoying your pictures and blog. I know how much time goes into what you are doing. I hope you are getting adequate sleep so you can manage driving on the wrong side of the VERY narrow roads safely.
I thought I was getting enough sleep. I generally try to get the posts created while Lisa is getting ready for dinner, or while we are relaxing in the room before bed. I've even saved a few drafts until morning, and then finished them up while Lisa is getting packed and ready to go.
However, based on my "Over In Killarney" post, I can't help but wonder if I would have done a better job of judging how far to the right I needed to move when passing that parked car if I had an extra hour or two of sleep the night before?
We got in rather early when we arrived in Kilarney, and then headed out quite late Friday morning. I think I got nearly 12 hours of sleep. I expect to get another 6 to 8 hours Friday night, so I should be well rested for Saturday's 4 hour round trip drive down to the Beara Peninsula and back.
Really, now that the Doolin to Kilarney drive is behind us, the rest of the trip should have plenty of opportunities for sleep.
