Comments:Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your site very much. It's been four years since my last trip to Canada, which I have come to love. I too have visited the wonderful St. Anne de Beaupré. It is a beautiful place and the wax and cyclorama museums are wonderful and lifelike. I enjoyed your page about St. Anne's.
I would like to make a request regarding http://www.moytura.com/stanne.htm Is the music on this page copywrited? If it is not, could you please tell me what the name of it is and perhaps the composer. It is absolutely lovely, and I would like to use it in the background of a future webpage. Once again, only if the music is public domain or permissable.
Thank you. Susan Griffin

Comments:I was very impressed by your site "My Place Among the Stones" I'm the acting Content Director for a new web site called "Circle of Learning" which is set to launch in late November. We're in search of flagship content creators, and the type of content on your site would be great. The idea behind Circle is to allow individuals to "teach" others what they know, from the silly to the sublime. It's particularly targetted at people 50 and over.
If you agree, what I'd suggest is that my team would extract from your geocities web site a "course"... that is to say, a simple travelogue about the West of Ireland based on the materials in your site. We'd also provide a link back to your site, or to wherever you wished. And of course, your name would be there as author. There's no money in this, only glory. But we really hope you'll agree to let us repurpose your content in this way... It will benefit a lot of people.
Thanks,
Jake Prescott, Circle of Learning

Comments:Hi
I very much enjoyed viewing your website! I too drove that magnificent drive you describe from Westport down to Leenane, and I have never forgotten the impact the scenery had on my very soul.Like you I am of Irish descent and very proud and interested in it. I am starting to compile my family tree, and I hope to move to Ireland next year (probably Mayo!). I know the country very well, both north and south. I am a TV producer and I used to live and work in Belfast, working for UTV, so that gave me the opportunity to travel widely. I normally visit Ireland once a year (can't keep away!).
One quick question - I am very taken with the idea of climbing Croagh Patrick! How long does it take? Are there different routes up the mountain or is there just the one path? How fit do you have to be?
Best wishes,
Tony

Comments:Very nice site.
I made my first trip ever to Ireland in September. My mother, Anne Cathering Devaney was born in Easkey, Sligo about 1910. I found the cottage where she was born in Carrenrod, still lived in by the widow of her brother, my uncle Patsy.
Our bus took us by Dunguire castle on Sep 19, and I found the sight of the Burren fascinating---equally awesome as the Cliffs of Moher nearby. If I ever encounter a leprechaun, Pookah or Banshee when I return to Ireland next year, I am convinced the encounter will be in close proximity to the Burren.
Keep up the good work.
May you live as long as you want---and never want as long as you live.

the Journey
For those who have just joined me on this page why not go to the beginning of our travels and see some of the places in The Start of Our Journey through the West of Ireland. My Place Amongst the Stones gives the history of my company name, Moytura - a celtic heritage going back thousands of years.
We journey to my own parish of Lackagh - a small village just 12 miles from Galway with a mighty big history. Learn all about the Battle of Knockdoe - one of Ireland's bloodiest of conflicts in the 16th century.
We then move on to take a quick jaunt around Galway City; and then to the heart of Connemara - with its wild and wonderful beauty.
From there we journey south into County Clare and see The Burren - a place that has lain undisturbed since the Ice-age and of immense botanical, ecological and archaeological importance.
Visit Ireland's finest early monastic heritage centre in Clonmacnoise, County Offaly; and to my favourite of all the early Christian Church locations - Clonfert, South County Galway, with its beautiful tiny 12th century Cathedral of Saint Brendan. Come with me around the grounds and see the Bishop's Palace and the 1000 year old Yew Walk.
While on the Clonfert pages, you can learn a potted history of Saint Brendan the Navigator, possibly the first European to set foot in North America in the 6th. century. And join me in the celebrations when this tiny cathedral was listed in the World Monuments Watch 2000 most endangered monuments.
Come with me on my 'Famine Journey' which starts in Westport, and moves to Sligo, my Dad's County and the departure port for many of the 'Coffin Ships'. This part of my journey ends in Grosse-Île on a tiny island east of Quebec City.
On this page you will learn some of the history of our Famine Refugees and find the final resting place of over 6,000 of my country folk who died within sight of their first freedom in over 300 years. This is where many of the Irish roots in North America started.
Our Journey moves on to other places on that visit to Canada where we see Quebec City and some of Ontario's lovely places and then to two of Canada's famous Catholic Shrines - Saint Anne de Beaupré and to Cap-de-la-Madeleine.
Finally, join me on my pilgrimage to a peaceful haven in a war-torn country in Medugorje in Bosnia-Hercegovinia. The other areas of my Web site can be found in the drop-down box below.
If you are interested in Irish history or anything to do with Ireland why not visit our new additions where you will find a large selection of genuine Irish goods as well as Irish reading, music & viewing material!:Moytura's Irish Store, Moytura's Irish Bookshop, Moytura's Irish Music Store, and Moytura's Irish Video Store
