After Michelle finished work, we headed to Elbow Beach for a party organized by people from Michelle's work. It included food and drink and beach volleyball at Elbow Beach. There seems to be a significant group of Irish people who work at Michelle's company. Several of them had even heard of Strokestown! One of the girls used to drive through Strokestown all the time on the way to Dublin.
Later, soon after the sun went down, something started to glow in the sky to the east behind some clouds. While some thought it was the moon, others believed it could not be the moon, to be such an orange colour, and so bright. As the clouds spread apart, it turns out that it was indeed the moon, appearing very large and very bright orange, like a rising sun. It was an amazing sight. We took some photos, they didn't come out very well with my camera, so we won't post them here.
At the end of the night, we had our first Scooter ride in the dark. All went well. I expected the roads to be a lot darker than they were.
