HI, I'M RICK STEVES, AND THIS TIME WE'RE EXPLORING

AND WE'RE STARTING ABOUT AS WEST AS YOU CAN GET,

ON THE ARAN ISLANDS, WHERE, AS THE PEOPLE HERE SAY,

IRELAND, ESPECIALLY ITS WEST, HAS A UNIQUE CHARM

WHERE ITS RUGGED NATURAL BEAUTY AND ITS VIBRANT TRADITIONS

AFTER IMAGINING THIS  ISLAND'S MISTY PAST,

WE ENJOY PLENTY  OF TRADITIONAL IRISH MUSIC,

FROM A FOOT-STOMPING  SMALL-TOWN DANCE SHOW

TO LOCAL PUBS WHERE EVERY  NIGHT'S A MUSIC FEST.

WE EXPLORE THE BIGGEST CITY  OF WITH THE WEST COAST,

AND WE'RE EXPLORING  THE FAR WEST OF IRELAND.

STARTING ON THE REMOTE ARAN  ISLANDS, WE CRUISE TO GALWAY,

HIKE THE RUGGED BURREN AND  MARVEL AT THE CLIFFS OF MOHER,

IT'S THE LARGEST OF THE THREE ARAN ISLANDS.

IT'S ALSO THE MOST POPULATED, INTERESTING AND VISITED.

IS THE 2,000-YEAR-OLD  FORTRESS OF DUN AENGUS,

WHICH HANGS PRECARIOUSLY  ON THE EDGE OF A CLIFF

THE CONCENTRIC WALLS OF THIS  MYSTERIOUS CELTIC FORT

AS AN ADDED DEFENSE,  EFFECTIVE EVEN TODAY,

THE FORT IS RINGED WITH  A COMMOTION OF SPIKY STONES

WHO USED A WALL OF SPEARS  TO STOP A CHARGING CAVALRY.

THE WALLS OF THIS CIRCULAR FORT  FALL INTO THE SEA BELOW.

DUN AENGUS CAN BE MOBBED  BY DAY-TRIPPERS.

BUT SINCE WE SPENT THE NIGHT,  WE'RE HERE EARLY,

WHERE THE CRASHING WAVES  BELOW SEEM TO SAY,

"YOU'VE COME  TO THE VERY EDGE OF EUROPE."

KILRONAN IS THE ONLY REAL TOWN  ON THE ARAN ISLANDS,

WITH A HANDFUL OF SHOPS, PUBS,  RESTAURANTS AND B&Bs.

WASH ASHORE WITH THE LANDING  OF EACH FERRY.

THE ISLANDS ARE A GAELTACHT --  OR GAELIC-SPEAKING AREA --

A KIND OF NATIONAL PARK FOR  IRELAND'S TRADITIONAL CULTURE.

WHILE THE ISLANDERS SPEAK  ENGLISH FOR VISITORS,

THEY CHAT AMONG THEMSELVES  IN THIS OLD IRISH LANGUAGE.

KILRONAN HAS AN ABUNDANCE  OF FOLK TRADITIONS AND MUSIC.

THE RAGUS DANCE SHOW GIVES  VISITORS AN INTIMATE LOOK

ACCOMPANIED BY TRADITIONAL  IRISH INSTRUMENTS.

IF YOU WERE HERE  IN EARLIER GENERATIONS,

YOU'D SEE STEP DANCES LIKE  THESE AT A COUNTRY CROSSROADS,

KILRONAN IS A SPRINGBOARD  FOR ISLAND EXPLORATION.

RENTING BIKES IS SAFE,  INEXPENSIVE AND SCENIC.

PONY CARTS, WHILE PRICEY,  ARE MORE ROMANTIC.

PROVIDE CHEAP GUIDED TOURS  FOR A QUICK AND EFFICIENT LOOK

AT THE ISLAND'S SIGHTS  AND A CHANCE TO GET TO KNOW

WE'RE TAKING THE COAST ROAD ON THE WAY TO THE --

IT'S A NICE DAY, HUH? COULDN'T BE ANY BETTER, HUH?

WITH THREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS  AND THREE CHURCHES.

THERE'S A STARK BEAUTY  ABOUT THESE ISLANDS
