We traveled right across this river into Northern Ireland.
and were immediately we were at the Belleek Factory..
I love Belleek pottery... I have a limited amount since my wedding in 1972... would love to get a teapot, but not here... the dollar to the pound here wasnt a very good deal!
But watching how such exquisitely fine and detailed pottery was handcrafted was amazing!
This is a teapot I really love!
These woven baskets were tedious but absolutely lovely!
Every item is hand painted!. Then were back into the Republic Ireland and traveled due west to my absolute favorite area... Donegal!
The town of Donegal is small situated about a town center...
the town center encircled this circular disc and concrete park!
We talked up to Donegal castle
Shopped the quaint shops.. bought some gifts for my friends...
and had a delicious lunch at the Blueberry Tearoom!
right beside the Donegal Tavern
again a lovely shot of the castle
a trek back by the tearoom and then back onto our coach.
I didnt know yet just how much I would love county Donegal!
