Glad you got back safely. I must be one of the few still in Athlone. Who in their right mind would rush off this island unless they had a pressing engagement elsewhere?! Had intended to try out the oldest pub in Ireland but the weather isn't so good tonight and it is a 10 min walk so I'm uploading pics in the B&B instead. Travelling back tomorrow at a leisurely pace. Amazing progress in that year and lots of promise of more to come.
