Ireland day 6

[kmusser]

Probably our only really awful weather day, heavy rain and wind almost the whole day as remnants from Irma have chased us across the Ocean. We still do our planned drive around the end of the Beara Peninsula, a failed attempt at finding the Derreenataggart stone circle, and only very brief stops at the overlooks. We spend more time inside at a copper mining museum in Allihies where we learn that a quarter of this peninsula's population all left and went to Butte, Montana. After that it's back past our B&B and attempt to visit the Hag of Beara but are driven back by the wind, we do find the adjacent Kilcatherine church and wander about there for a bit. Defeated by weather we cut the sightseeing short and do a run up to Kenmare which is the nearest real town for food and a bit of shopping.
