Last weekend I got up early on Saturday morning in the Snoozles hostel in Galway. I took a bus up to the pier and got on a ferry to the Island of Inis Oirr.
As we arrived on the Island it began to rain. I didn't mind so much since I actually haven't seen too much rain since I got here. We had some lovely soup and thick brown bread for lunch in a pub.
Then we started our hike around the island. 
There were so many rocks! I have never seen so many rocks in my life! The two irish interns who were with us both hhad a different explanation for why there were so many rock walls. ( Some walls fenced of fields that were more rock than gress.) One intern said that the land just got more and more divided up as sons inherited land. The other said that during the famine there weren't enough jobs so people just got paid to build rock walls. Either way there were a lot of them.
