a pub which has gotten international fame for awesome sessions in "Doolin"--do not know where it is presumably in Doolin.... also--an irish historical figure which always fascinates me is St. Brendan...he sailed to newfoundland way before christopher columbus, or lief erickson...i believe it is said to have been in the sixth century...the Abbey where he was whaile a monk would be a wonderful place to visit...will find more info.....does any one know?? also--there is a cottqge where there is housed a marvelous chat group called Tir Na Nog--a virtual pub which can be accessed thru the web--a treasur of irish culture and a resource - i used to go there- do not know if it is presentlyon line--but it would be a hoot to see the place in person... a thatched roof housing a modern wonder!!
