It is a British territory, close to the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. The Turks Islands consist of 8 major islands and many smaller islands inhabited. The US dollar is used and they drive on the left side of the road like the UK. We stayed at a beach resort located in the Grace Bay area of the island of Providenciales. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We made a photo stop at the Dunguaire Castle. In Galway we had a few hours to explore the Galway City Museum, we had a lunch in one of the pubs and a little walk around Galway. After leaving Galway we drove through what is called the lunar landscape of the Burren. We had one just night in Doolin at the Churchfield B&B. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb73GVssygquYGYQBmhTpt0o8i5LVUtItg2eslslyNYTLtiG0GLDSY32d-_fDJpztb4ekyFafwCfxPwCVMgBAzYVa4ONyi-bZppqJiMMx0jtbPGC5ok1KhepdameKiRkgu0Ki8tk8V3nX5gxHhZEYNp0-BBG-KS1curQvQl442THWmYjn0YjdY0kzeHA/s2304/More%20from%205-10-23.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="2304" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb73GVssygquYGYQBmhTpt0o8i5LVUtItg2eslslyNYTLtiG0GLDSY32d-_fDJpztb4ekyFafwCfxPwCVMgBAzYVa4ONyi-bZppqJiMMx0jtbPGC5ok1KhepdameKiRkgu0Ki8tk8V3nX5gxHhZEYNp0-BBG-KS1curQvQl442THWmYjn0YjdY0kzeHA/w640-h400/More%20from%205-10-23.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The Dunguaire Castle, we did not go inside but we were able to walk around the outside. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwXwmlwKOOVqT5A6dAMZZtki96ph0DG40HGqN-pdieVfe5uWTQcShtDT26-jo00ikl_BjfTT7nuMWZMffB7IvVlyEM5hpiNNrJdmAGG4fVoUePb4kV6T27N5EsfCfQMBN4kuV1AeijLOF6kMEY0Ro353Ug4ItWUGAbSfGtHTvmIcUXNGDd0-oEXdTZA/s2333/IMG_3368A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1750" data-original-width="2333" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwXwmlwKOOVqT5A6dAMZZtki96ph0DG40HGqN-pdieVfe5uWTQcShtDT26-jo00ikl_BjfTT7nuMWZMffB7IvVlyEM5hpiNNrJdmAGG4fVoUePb4kV6T27N5EsfCfQMBN4kuV1AeijLOF6kMEY0Ro353Ug4ItWUGAbSfGtHTvmIcUXNGDd0-oEXdTZA/w640-h480/IMG_3368A.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It was raining a bit when we arrived in Galway, it was a perfect time to visit the Galway City Museum.
