Sligo

A: 

Mary and I went to Sligo, to see Yeats' Country. Mary hates Yeats, which extends to not admitting that Maud Gonne was the most beautiful woman ever to live.


Actually, we went to have seaweed baths, which were really wonderful. Then we drank all their tea and walked along the beach.


This is Knocknarea, which holds Mebh's Cairn. We didn't walk up it, because it was 4 km of climbing to get there.


We think Mebh was angry, because after that, everything we went to see, or anywhere we went to eat, was closed, despite what the signs on the door said. Here's me not getting in Carrowmore, the largest megalithic cemetery in Europe.


The parking lot at Strokestown Park, home of the National Famine Museum. It was lovely. We drove all over the grounds to stick it to them. They seemed nice too.
