Cliffs of Moher & Dublin
Cliffs of Moher Sarena and I booked tickets for the Cliffs of Moher & The Burren Tour. We made our way to the station and hopped on onto the bus. Our first stop was the Dunguaire Castle. We only spent ten minutes at that site but we had more time at the next stop Poulnabrone…

Exploring Galway
Sarena and I visited the tourism office of Galway after breakfast then wallked to the cathedral. It is amazing-simply beautiful and one of my favorites. I could feel a sense wholeness being there and I admired, as I usually do, the stained glass works. After I got holy water on my hands and forehead an…

From France to Galway
I woke up early and caught three trains to get to Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) and on the second leg, from Guingamp to Rennes, I did not have an assigned seat but my intuition took me to a specific spot with a seat which remained unclaimed for the rest of ride. Switching trains at…

Douarnenez & Sainte-Marine
I accompanied Claire and her son on some errands and on our way back she made a detour to a cozy coastal town named Douarnenez. As we walked by the marina, Claire regaled me with a tale of how her daughter would mispronounce the town’s name as Doigt en nez (finger in nose) when she was…

Manors in Brittany
When I came down to the kitchen this morning, two cupcake pieces were sitting pretty on the table waiting for me. Claire’s daughter had apparently made them the day before and made a point to save some for me (#blessed). After breakfast, Claire and I made iced tea and cookies and soon after her daughter’s…

From Quimper to Concarneau
For breakfast today, I had bread with this amazing mango and passion fruit marmalade. For lunch I had delicious rice and salmon and shortly after lunch Claire dropped me off right in front of the Cathedral in Quimper. The weather was beautiful- sunny and warm like an early spring day. Nathan soon arrived and we…

Bénodet
I had croissant and tea for breakfast and spent the morning in conversation until lunch. After lunch, Claire took me to this marina or port de plaisance called Bénodet. It was absolutely gorgeous. The wind was out to play and I was captivated by the scenery. We came across a donkey (of all things) on…
