Day 3: Dublin to Westport

We set out to drive east to west across the country in the rain. Luckily the rain stopped in time for a visit at our first Heritage site, Boyle Abbey. We learned how this 12th century Cistercian abbey was built and weathered the centuries.

We made our way to Westport in county Sligo, a charming seaside town with little pubs, inns and shopping.

We enjoyed an afternoon drive along the coast to see Croagh Patrick (Mount Patrick) and Bertra Beach. JP was missing Quinn at the beach where other dogs were chasing balls.

We returned to Westport for pubbing, dinner and traditional music at Porters Pub and Cobbler's Bar. A great day!Read more
