Yes! Strike!
My trust in the intactness of the political system of the EU has just received a tiny little re-inforcement:

A great weekend
This weekend I was on a two-days walking trip on Achill Island and in Northern Mayo (Erris). It was a great weekend, the weather was fabulous, the scenery was stunning, and I now have sore muscles and a bad sunburn on my forehead.
Today, I enjoyed having a day off work and revcovering from the yesterday's extertions, when we walked about 17 km from Belderrig to Portacloy along the mountainous coastline. We, that means Wolfgang and I. Wolfgang contacted me through the Trekking Forum, where I posted looking for fellow-walkers for short walking trips in the West of Ireland. He is from Ulm and here in Ireland for a three-week holiday.
Today's weather was also very fine, and, for the first time this year, I was comfortable with only a t-shirt. I visited the exhibition of the exam presentations of the students of the Galway arts school, which I already visited last year and which had impressed me very much at that time. This year, unfortunately, I could not see the exhibition on the weekend, since I was away and when I went there today, many parts of the exhibition were closed due to ongoing assessments. I saw a few interesting pieces, nevertheless, and took some nice photographs.
Over the weekend and today I took about 150 pictures. I will try to pick a few nice ones and add a new gallery to my website soon. Stay tuned!
