The Five Finger Strands, Malin Head, Glenevin Falls, Donegal Town

 Today we visited several towns and beautiful sights.  Unfortunately we had problems at the B&B with the internet........so we only have a few pictures to share.  We took 114 pictures today but it took us 2 hours to get 6 or 7 to upload unto our blog........So you'll have to wait till we return to see the rest.  This picture above is the "The Five Finger Strand".  There are several more that go with this but.....you'll have to wait...
 These few pictures are of Malin Head the most Northern Tip of Ireland......we have traveled to the most Southern Tip of Ireland and Eastern Tip of Ireland and we will be heading to the most Western Tip tomorrow. The pictures speak for themselves......I wish I could have posted more.......


 
 This was the watch tower at the top of Malin Head......

This was The Church of Clonmany (above ruins) in the town of Clonmany.  The Monk of Maine was a follower of St. Patrick.......... There should be pictures of Glenevin Falls next.....but they wouldn't load.  History of the fall......The Glenevin Falls are the largest falls in the United Kingdom...pictures when we get home...wish you could see them.  It was a beautiful sunny day today and the walk to the falls was breathtaking...........
 St. Patrick's Catholic Church in The Town of Donegal.  We went in and lit 5 candles for friends and family.........
 A view of Donegal Castle in the town of Donegal...
We stopped at the Reel Pub in Donegal and took this picture from the bridge. You can see St. Patrick's Church and the river..........The town is beautiful.  This was our pit stop for the night.  We are staying at a wonderful B&B (The Cove Lodge)..........the men will be cooking for us tomorrow for our full Irish Breakfast....the wife is in France visiting her sister......should be interesting.  Sorry about the short blog tonight and hopefully you'll be able to see all of our pictures when we return......Until then.................we have a busy scheduled tomorrow and we hope we can upload more pictures.......Again we feel very blessed to be on this adventure........Thanks again kids!!! Love Mom & Dad
