Day 6, July 4, 2012

I'm back - sorry for the delay. We didn't have internet at the house we stayed at last night so I'm writing two blogs today. This is the fourth of July but there are no fireworks, picnic, or parades. I'll just have to settle for beautiful scenery and good fellowship in a foreign land. It doesn't seem foreign. Everyone has treated us extremely well. People here love to have conversations.

We left our B&B in Falcarragh and headed out in the rain. The forecast was for clearing by afternoon and that's exactly what happened. By afternoon the sun was coming out and we soon dried out. One of our key destinations today was Fanad Head, where we found a white lighthouse and beautiful scenery. We continued around the peninsula and ended up in Rathmullen, Ireland. Stuart, our rider from Northern Ireland, has a friend, Roddy, who loaned us the use of his house for the night. It's  on a golf course and was a wonderful place to stay. We went into Rathmullen and found a restaurant that overlooked Lough Swilly, the body of water we'll be crossing tomorrow by ferry.
