Cuairt ar Chluain Fearta (Visit to "Clonfert")
Thugamar cuairt ar Chluain Fearta le déanaí, an áit ar cuireadh Naomh Breandán, is cosúil, agus mainistir mhór le rá tráth.
We visited "Clonfert" lately, St. Brendan's burial place, and a famous monastery in its time. We were the only visitors that day.
1) Chuamar ar strae ar dtús, agus bhain an eaglais nua amach. Istigh ann tá an dealbh seo den mhaighdean. Tá scéal na deilbhe seo an-suimiúil.Féach an plaic (curtha ar fáil i mBéarla amháin, thanks Helen Riddell).
Chuir mé suntas sa "tragically" seo. Rinne mé dearmad ar an dúnmharú uafásach seo, ach nuair a chuardaigh mé an scéal tháinig sé go léir ar ais.
Tá grúpa leathchraiceáilte as Meiriceá agus Éirinn tar éis ionad aisteach darb ainm "The Emmanuel House of Providence" a bhunú in aice Cluain Fearta. Aingil, páidríní, maoithneachas, agus cupáin tae d'oilithrigh. Is cosúil go dtagann daoine anseo ag lorg bisigh ó thinnis.
Agus ar aghaidh go dtí an eaglais í féin. Cur síos deas ar an áit. I mBéarla amháin, faraor.
An doras iontach. Dáiríre - tá sé go hiontach!
Bréandán é féin. Gach rud i mBéarla, and what a stupid, vacuous, vapid prayer.
Wow!
Nach bhfuil an mhaighdean mhara go hálainn?
Dragún ar an mballa! A dragon on the wall!
B'fhada liom fáil amach céard a bhí ar na scrollanna. I'd love to know what was on the scrolls!
Céard é seo ar an gcoirnéal in aon chor? What is this thing on the corner?
Tada naofa faoin phrácas seo. Gach cuma ar seo gur cuireadh tús leis le déanaí. Tá tuairim agam go bhfuil baint ag an lucht siúil leis.
Nothing holy about this mess, which looks like it started relatively recently. I suspect the travelling community may have something to do with it.
Radharc ón taobh amuigh, agus abhaile linn.

Cost of chartering a bus to NYC for one night
This is simply the transport cost for getting a group of students into NYC and back for a play!
Are you kidding me?
Is there some mistake here?
