Driving Dublin to Moville, Donegal

It was supposed to rain all day but the sun was out and we had only sprinkles very rarely along the way for which I was grateful as Norbert had not driven on the left for many years.  Rotaries are particularly challenging!

Following are views along the way which took us across a corner of Northern Ireland.  Yo did not know you were entering a different country except that the road signs changed from Kilometers per hour - Republic of Ireland to Mile per hour - Northern Ireland.  We are staying in Donegal County which though part of the Republic, wraps around Northern Ireland.


The Emerald Isle


The River Foyle which flows through Moville where we are staying.  Northern Ireland can be seen on the other side

View from our window - we are at a working farm

Visited this small library in Moville and had a long conversation with the very knowledgeable librarian who was so generous with his time. I learned a great deal about this area where my great grandfather was born.
