Clonmacnoise

A:

We went to see Clonmacnoise with my friend Mary. It's on old important monastery sitting right in the center of Ireland, on the Shannon river. It's known as the crossroads of Ireland. 

That's the Shannon River you see behind the round tower. It's really full right now, like all the rivers. 

This is the whispering doorway, that supposedly the priests used to use to hear lepers' confessions. We couldn't get it to work.

T found a "dungeon" where they kept stone pieces from the buildings. He was very creeped out by the face he found staring at him.

 Clonmacnoise is famous for some really beautiful stone crosses.

From inside the museum/interpretive center/whatever
"1070 'The head of Conchobar Ua Maeil-Shechlainn forcibly carried from Clonmacnoise by Toirdelbhach' who was compelled to return it, 'for he was smitten with a miraculous disease imparted to him by a mouse that issued from the head, and ran under his garment.' "

Just a warning that the same thing will happen to anyone who takes my head.
