Day 3 - Exploring Westport

This bird decided to join me for coffee. He was so close that I could see his blue eyes!

The sunshine decided to join me, too, but briefly.

At least two staff members have come out to ask me about my solar charger:

Each one made a joke about using a solar charger in Ireland, where sunshine is not the norm.

Last night I dreamt that I had my warm purple hoodie and that people kept moving my tent during the night. Neither were true.

A woman on the street in Westport to tell me that it might rain. I laughed because it had just rained within the past minute.

You might not be able to tell what this is, BUT IT'S ZIPLINING! They have lots of other crazy/excellent things here like zorbing:

  Zorbing: get inside a humongous ball and then we roll you down a hill. There may or may not be water inside the ball with you.

Slugs are huge here.

... Cool plants growing out of a wall...

... Gigantic mushroom...

... Enormous tree system that was cut down so they could build the path...

... Fascia...

... Seafood chowder and brown bread...

... Westport House...

Those sheep/goats (top of the hill) were bleating all night long!

According to my waitress, "the pointy one" is the one I will climb tomorrow!

This dog wanted my non-existent leftovers.

... Street near Clew Bay...

...

...

Ropes course!

Parking lot that I am pretty sure has giant hogweed.

This might be giant hogweed.
