The Michael Davitt Bridge...
... in nearby Achill Sound is apparently based on the ribcage of a basking
shark, a leviathan that sometimes visits these parts.

Souvenir Hunting
Sweeney's at nearby Achill Sound has a wide range
of presents for the folks back home. There are
plenty of books on sale including the mummy porn
best-seller "Fifty Shades of Grey", which is
extremely popular in Ireland right now. For those
of a more sombre nature, there are also graveside
memorials such as this colourful tableau with
stigmata saint Padre Pio. Even the animals have
their own tributes including "Beloved Cat. You've
made our home special".

The Bridge to the Rainbow's End
If there was a crock of gold there, it evaporated
along with the rainbow about thirty seconds later.

Happy Christmas!
The Christmas spirit as embodied by a colourful family of snowmen including a couple of kids and a lady in a bikini top. They were spotted outside the house next to the chemist's in Achill Sound.

The Next Day...
Polranny guest Bernadette Paternotte continues her Irish diary: "The next day I walked to Achill Sound. The weather was chilly and overcast but dry.
Achill Sound is located on Achill Island with a bridge connecting the island to Ireland. It's the largest Irish island with a circumference of some 144 square kilometres.
There was no bus in sight even after waiting for a while. My well-filled backpack made walking back rather difficult, so I made a virtue out of a necessity and picked the prettiest flowers alongside the road and took them home with me. Once I arrived, I arranged them in a vase and placed them on the kitchen table next to the window. This had become my favourite place for sitting and working."

All Things Sweeney
The car park between Sweeney's Supermarket, Sweeney's Hardware and Sweeney's Gift Shop in Achill Sound. Pretty much the centre of the universe in this neck of the woods.
