Jim enjoyed a full Irish
breakfast again plus porridge. My
scambled eggs were especially rich and yellow - Kay explained that that the
eggs were from her hens, which are free range.
Off to the farmers market.
After checking out the stalls, we joined a free tour of the market. Our guide,
Walter Ryan-Purcell, introduced us to most of the vendors who then explained their
business and offered samples. Walter is a Ryan from Limerick - his family
is also near Borrisokane so maybe he's another
cousin!

Walked back to the market
for some coffee and to purchase some blackberry jams then checked out all the
shops as well as an artists exhibition.
At lunch in the Super-Valu cafe Jim had an awesome panini and I enjoyed my daily scone and mocha.
We decided to explore the
coast - a sign for "Baltimore" looked promising so we spent a few hours there on
a secluded rocky beach and an old castle built in 1215. Found tons of
really buffed sea glass. The change in water level between low and high tide is
tremendous in this town - easily 15 feet.
Arrived back at the B&B
where Kay greeted us with more apple pie. We ate dinner in our room (wine plus
fiber cereal plus milk plus brownie) for me and Murphy's beer plus fiber cereal
plus nut bar for Jim.
