Castle
The projection is the
exterior view of the garderobe - everything just falls into a trough -
you want to be downwind at all costs

peat bog harvesting area - our least favorite part of the trip.

filmed
A flooded road we encountered
More flooding
Newgrange
Entrance to Newgrange chamber
Typical landscape
We saw a little boy in the middle of the
road
waving a long rod. Our guide said we'd be seeing either sheep
or cows being herded from the barn to a field.&nbsc &nbsc Needless to
say, it was sheep. Boy, were we lucky they weren't cows because they don't run so we would have waited much long and might have
missed a meal waiting for them. Oh the horror!!!
More typical scenery from Hills

Ulster American Folk Park.
This fascinating museum had a village with authentic buildings and
homes
which had been moved from all over Ireland.
The village leads to a representation of a
town with an entrance to the docks where the immigrants boarded small
boats heading to America
They
board
the ship
Where they enter the small
living quarters with less than simple accomodations
And, at the end of their harrowing
journey, they enter the New World
Speaking of simple
accomodations, this is the bathtub in one of ours. Why does life have
to be so hard???
More
flooding. We were heading for Blarney which should have taken
an hour. After five or six detours because of flooded roads,
we arrived two hours later.

Marsha and I were the only ones brave
enough to go out into the miserable weather to take a photo of the
Kinsale harbor . . . as you can see, we shouldn't have wasted our time.
