Trip to the Aran Islands

A day at Inis Mór.
Today, we've been at Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands. We had incredible luck with the weather. No rain at all during our 6-hours visit. We walked around for several hours and I took lots of pictures.

We saw a lot of "half price" things on Inis Mór:

"House, half price!"
house, half price
"Bananas, half price!"
bananas, half price
"Car, half price!"
car, half price
"For rent, half price!"
for rent, half price

more serious now:

aran islands, inis mor
aran islands, inis mor
aran islands, inis mor
aran islands, inis mor
aran islands, inis mor

We learned, that on the Aran Islands wealth was not defined by money but by the animals someone owned, with cow being the most stable currency. Well, times are different now, but we found a cowionnaire's field (3 cows!)
