Traveling to Doolin: First stop - Cong

Again, I am hoping I have recalled this correctly. The next part of our trip was driving to Doolin. We got up early and had our Irish Breakfast and hit the road.  First we stopped along the way because we saw this:

And there was no information about it, but there it was, right along the roadway heading into a town. As you can see, it was another glorious day and we happily drove on to see more of the sights as we headed south to Doolin.

We had decided to go through Cong so we could see where they filmed The Quiet Man. We got there and parked in a fairly open lot, then found out that there was a funeral for a young person, and the lot started filling up fast, and if we didn't get back to move our car, we were going to be trapped for the rest of the day and possibly into the night, SO we had to leave. We only got a few pictures there, and that was actually fine. It is a fairly small, quiet town. Also, let's face it, the movie does have some objectionable scenes and lines....

We skedaddled out of there and headed to Ashford Castle.
