Yesterday

So unfortunately i did not make the post yesterday because once we got back from dinner, i was completely exhausted. We had breakfast at the Galway hotel which was very good but was just a buffet.. We then headed towards Clonmacnoise which was very impressive and sort of depressing all at the same time. It is a burial ground, so now you can see why it was depressing. We continued our travels and stopped and saw the Trim Castle but only from the outside. We didn't want to take the time and money to see the inside. We then continued and unfortunately was too late to see Newgrange at Bru Na Boinne.... The roads were all messed and did not help us get there in time. We then headed towards Contarif but we did stop at Malahide Castle to walk the grounds and take some pictures. It is closed until the summer so it did not matter what time we got there! We arrived at the hotel which is the Clontarf Castle, and it is exquisite!!! We had plans to have dinner with a local cousin that lives here in Ireland. We showered and met up with him at 7:30.. We headed to a seafood restuarant called Hemmingways. It did not disappoint and it was so great seeing the roots of the Dohertys here in Ireland.. We came back to the hotel and i finally crashed and slept through the night!!!!
