In the morning we said bye to Connemara's wild landscapes...
and we went back to Galway
to meet Laura and Makoto's family.
I met Laura in Tokyo thanks to my student Koichi.
She married Makoto.
After her first daughter was born she moved to England.
Then to Ireland (easier to get a visa for Makoto).
Then they had 2 other kids.
They are living in County Mayo.
After sharing lunch on the beach,
we left them to reach Athlone:
a city in the center of the country.
We were lucky because it was the day of the traditional festival.
For the first time I saw the card loom:
I need to study more and to practice it !!
We got a problem with our RB and B
so we decided to directly reach Dublin.
In Dublin we stayed in a really chic suburb...
I didn't take pictures but it was really beautiful houses
made by bricks, with colored doors, gardens all around...
but no life in the streets...
We ate an other really fatty dinner in a really vivid pub.
