We got an early start to the day. We decided to go down to Donegal Town to do a bit of shopping, and if we felt like it maybe drive as far as Sligo Town. It didn’t take us long to get to Donegal. It was a fine bright morning with little traffic on the road until we got beyond Killybegs.
As soon as we had the car parked we took a little walk about town. Treasa had postcards she wanted to mail out so we went looking for the post office. After that we dropped into the Blueberry Café for a spot of breakfast. There were at least two other people speaking Irish in the café. Brian, the owner came out to speak with us. He always remembers me and Rich and always asks about Vladimir. He is such a wonderful host, it’s not surprising his café is thriving. There is no longer tagine on the menu but at least he is trying other new things like coq au vin and tandoori salmon wrap. I wonder how the dour Donegallers are taking to that.
Treasa wanted to see the famine graveyard so we took a walk out in that direction after breakfast. Along the road the skies darkened and a heavy downpour caught us out in the open. We took shelter beneath a rowan tree until the rain let up.

Always good grub in the Blueberry. And Brian is sound indeed.
