The weather has been amazingly nice here for over a week in Ireland...one rainy evening and a few minutes of rain up in Northern Ireland. So, we really couldn't complain about a little mist as we headed out to the Aran Islands. Besides, it didn't last for long and our outing was very pleasant on the remote, rugged island of Inishmore.
The rocky island geography doesn't go to waste as the stone provide materials for the buildings and walls.
There are no sheep on the island any more (they are too difficult to herd as they easily jump over the stone walls but there are plenty of cows and goats.
The terrain is so rocky there are stone walls around fields of stone.
