The Connemara

Beautiful smoked salmon plate at the Cashel Hotel on our day trip yesterday.
(Not the same Cashel as the famous Rock of Cashel.)

Scenes from the very picturesque and heavily ornamented hotel and its mossy gardens:

Bench where Charles DeGaulle liked to sit during his stay at this hotel,
where he hid out immediately after being deposed as President
of France over 50 years ago.

Other scenes as we drove around the area:

Seals come into the little bays.
