fishman

he comes every Thursday and sets up his table on main street.   He has a wonderful variety of fish to choose from.  We've bought some smoked haddock, cod, salmon and a few other different ones and they were all nice and tasty.

yesterday

waiting for the bus, this was the scene across the road.  Seagulls freaking out helping the workers, looking for anything fishy.  It was pure chaos. :)

Frosses is a small village that the bus passes through, picks up a few people, then turns around and continues on to Donegal Town   There is a school on the right and a village shop, you can see the sign straight ahead.  (bus window photo).

We got off the bus and headed through the diamond to cross the road.  We saw a number of bikers just leaving as we walked through.  It was a rainless day which was nice. :)

when walking near the water, I'm always looking at rocks and this one stood out.  Looks like a fish don't you think?
