After checking in with Linda at the Croagh Patrick Lodge B&B, we drove back to Westport to walk around the town and eat. We first ate at a pub right on the bay. There we were able to eat outside - I couldn't believe how nice the weather was for us! It was grand!
Took a picture of the sign because of the Dan Kelly's Cider! Made me laugh. I did not have the Donegal Blonde, instead I tried the Independent red ale. It was very good. Though I do like the Guinness, if you want to drink Irish owned beer, you have to try the various craft beers. Guinness is still made in Ireland, but as of 1997, it is no longer an Irish-owned company. There is a March 16, 2014 article in The Economist titled "Why Guinness is less Irish than you think" and it gives an interesting history of the company. None of the information is what you would hear at The Guinness Storehouse!

Scenes from our walk around the town.
And finally, at the end of the day, a gorgeous sunset...
