Well, what a surprise this morning when we read the Sunday paper. In the magazine there is a full page article about Mayo ! There are 3 photos – one of Cong (that’s far enough away from Currane), one of Thomas McLoughlin (archeologist and guide on Achill Island, getting closer) and one of Carrickdawnet (you can actually see Currane in the background). Thank God there is no mention of Currane itself. They mention Nephin Beg, Croagh Patrick, the “forest” of islands in Clew Bay, Newport, Westport, Ballina, Castlebar (the Turlough museum which they say is more for Irish people themselves than for tourists), and Cong. Hopefully the dreaded hordes of tourists will skirt around Currane and leave the place in peace. They say that Mayo is not yet as well known as Connemara and Donegal but that the ambitious Mayo tourist office is doing its best to change that.
See you in August
