In the plane that bore us to Ireland

Our first day was in Galway - here's Mary on the River Corrib

As Pat chats with Oscar Wilde

On our second day, we went to the village of Cong. It's at the head of the river Corrib and very beautiful, but it's most famous as the place where they shot...

THE QUIET MAN!!!! Here's Mary in front of the Quiet Man heritage center, an exact replica of John Wayne's Cottage from the Movie.

And playing pattie-fingers in the holy water.

Over here we pronounce it...

While shooting the movie, the cast stayed at Ashford Castle. We weren't allowed in, but we did get to get this picture taken.

And, for that matter... this one.
