I know I need to grow up but calling a town "Muff" is kind of funny, I think. So of course, once we spotted Muff on the map we had to go there. We were hoping we could take a picture of a "Muff Hair Dresser", "Muff Crave Yard” or a "Muff Diving School" … well the Muff Beauty and Health store is not bad either.
An other town we passed through was Raphoe
Did Lil’Kim grow up here?

Muff is simply an anglicisation of Magh (field or plain) and Raphoe (pronounced Ra-foe) is “Rath Bhoth” or “Fort of the Huts”. So it’s not quite as hilarious as you think.
