We departed our hotel on the shore of Galway Bay shortly after sunrise for a drive to Londonderry, commonly called just Derry. Passing by a tower house adjacent to the highway our first stop was Knock Shrine, a Roman Catholic pilgrimage site. Next stop Drumcliffe where William Butler Yeats is buried. We crossed into Northern Ireland to see the Belleek Pottery factory located only a few feet over the border. Then through the Blue Stack Mountains and on to Derry.
