Margaret and Aidan Ryan hosted us in their home in Ireland.
We arrived on Sat. May 30th. Margaret took us to Dromolin Castle and to Durty Nellies. Then on
Sunday, she drove us to Lahinch and to the Cliffs of Mohr. We stopped at St. Brigit's well at Liscannor and ate supper in Doolin, overlooking Galway Bay.
Dad and Aidan played music and had fun catching up on stories of times long ago!

Margaret filmed the two videos of our visit and music with Jack and Aidan below:
