From Mom's Europe trip diary, in the "PLACES VISITED" section:
* A lough (or loch) is a lake.
** According to the "HOTELS STOPPED AT" section of the trip diary, my mother and her friends stayed at the National Hotel in Limerick this night.
This is the sixteenth in a series of posts about my mother's 1953 Europe Trip.

August 23, Sunday – Road between Ballyshannon and Limerick, [Éire]
Went to Mass at Ballyshannon. Drove through mist thru counties Sligo & Mayo. Lunched beside Lough Mask. Saw plenty of peat fields, some mountains, and lots of loughs.* Had tea in Galway. Drove to Limerick and spent night.**
Impressions - countryside more messy than England - plenty of rock fences marking about 1 acre, some beautiful shrubs with red blossoms, a few mountains, people going long distances to Mass, and not all greenness of country.
* A lough (or loch) is a lake.
** According to the "HOTELS STOPPED AT" section of the trip diary, my mother and her friends stayed at the National Hotel in Limerick this night.
