Today is day #2 in Northern Ireland. After starting off with some more car trouble, we drove to the town of Newcastle by the Irish Sea. It was like the New Jersey Boardwalk of Ireland in its off season. After staying there for a while we went to find Castle Dundrum (or what was left of it!) The first picture above is me in the highest part of the castle. The second picture is Chad showing you how thick the walls were through out the whole castle. The third is the whole picture.
After the castle, we went to the town of Downpatrick, where St. Patrick died and is buried. We also went to the County Down Museum where there were exhibits on the history of Northern Island. (Northern Island is actually part of Great Britain, and has a slightly different version of history). After Downpatrick, we went to the local ASDA, which is Walmart! It was not quite the same, being mostly a grocery store. Boring!
Tomorrow, we are going to do more family history stuff. We also might go to "The Outlet" which is like an inside mall.
Talk to you tomorrow.
