We took the long way up around Fanad Head and down the east side to Portsalon. We stopped for a quick look at the Portsalon golf club, it was really nice with fairways that hugged the bay. I didn't intend to play on the crowded weekend but I was happy to at least see it.
From there we continued south to Milford then went north through Cranford on to Carrigart when we realized that we drove entirely around Mulroy Bay.
Vera McBride invited us over for a wonderful Sunday dinner at her lovely home in Carrigart. Vera and the Mary's continued their talk about family stories while Vera's grandsons Aodh and Aiden introduced me to the game of Hurling with the Irish Women's Championship match on tv. It looked a little like Lacrosse but with baseball bats instead of sticks. I was sure some young lady would lose her head during the game.
Later in the afternoon we drove to have dessert with John and Mary Murray's family, near Kilmacrenan. The back road to the house was narrow, room for barely one car at a time in spots.
John took us up to the old Lynaugh home and lit a fire in the hearth. We also went to see the Family Tree, doing nicely were it was planted on a visit a couple of years ago.
We made it back to the B&B after 10:00 and had a quick nite cap at Downings Bay Hotel Bar before turning in.
