It it really Day 7?


We've covered a lot of countryside today!  Woke up in Inismor, had a fabulous lecture from a local authority on all things Celtic and all things Spiritual and all things Aran Island!  She was amazing.  The funny part is that we have been trying to find this woman for the last 2 years and could not get in touch! Marcus Borg had suggested her leadership to us, but we didn't connect until this trip. She just happened to be the National official at Dun Angus yesterday and found us because of our Celtic Cross on our name tags!  How small can one world get?

Her name is Padraigin Clancy.  She has a PhD in Irish Folk Lore, speaks fluent Gaelic, is working on certification as a Spiritual Director, and would like to go to seminary!  A good Catholic that thinks her grandmother would die if she were a priest or if she left the Catholic church, but has a deep sense of call to ministry.  It was fantastic!  Check out her work at www.clancyireland.com

We crossed back over on the ferry, found our bus, and took off for the Burren!  Wow!  Wow!  Wow! It was absolutely beautiful! Padraigh was awesome at the wheel of the bus on the most narrow of lanes in Ireland.  The view was just amazing.  Topped off with Paul's singing and bizaar sense of humor.........it all totaled up to a day!


But wait.......there is more..........the Cliffs of Moher that is!


Blessings your way...........
