Day 6 - Portmagee, Co. Kerry

Portmagee is one of the westernmost towns in Ireland, therefore one of the westernmost in Europe.  We took lunch in a pub and tried to wait out some of the rain.  Clearly a local cat had the same idea.  The tidal effects are really severe here, so fishermen just let the tide ground their boats when it goes out, and float them again as it comes in.
