    Foynes, Ireland

    Today we are staying in the village of Foynes which was a hub for "flying boats" in the 1930's and 40's. Visited their museum - what a great choice! The biggest surprise was the connection to the actress Maureen O'Hara who married a Brigadier General in the US Air Force and a pilot for this type of aircraft. In addition to a life-size replica of the Yankee Clipper was a huge archive of Maureen O'Hara memorabilia - costumes, film posters, video clips, and her honorary Oscar. Makes me want to watch some her films when we return. Now relaxing at the Foynes Inn beer garden.Les mer

    ReisendeJohn’s favorite Maureen O’Hara movie was the Quiet Man with John Wayne as her costar. The movie was shot in Ireland.

    ReisendePortland ME has a statue to honor John Ford, the director of The Quiet Man. We saw it with our DeLand friend, John Ford, in 2012. I think the director was a relative, maybe great uncle.
