Making our way north

This morning began very wet again. Our first stop was the Connemara marble factory. It is locally quarried in this beautiful area. Due to the rain, we certainly could get the full effect of its beauty, nor could we take photos through the bus window,

Some of the different coloured marble.

Next, we were off to a sheep farm. Many farmers graze the mountainside collectively with 100s of sheep, so they spray paint their wool so that they know what sheep belongs to whom. This farmer had 2 of her dogs show us how they work.

Enjoying some lamb stew at the sheep farm.

The lovely Irish countryside, rugged, wet, but lovely nonetheless!
We stopped for a quick break on our way to Sligo at a pretty little town called Westport.
