Shots we took after getting back down the rocky part.
The aforementioned fabulous scallops!
After dinner we strolled around to see what we could find. The ship sculpture was built as part of the 2010 National Famine Commemoration in Murrisk..
It's quite a statement, and it makes for a rather solemn stroll through the park. The pieces stretching across and around the boat are skeletons. It really makes a person feel the pain and the hopelessness that had to have permeated the country at that time. So tragic, and more so, criminal, when you consider what caused it and how it was allowed to continue.
After some more strolling, it was time to head back to our B&B and prepare for our travel in the morning. Got some more lovely shots of Croagh Patrick as night descended on Murrisk.
Nice, and great views!
